Summary:
- Researchers have discovered a new type of eye cell that combines the features of two previously known cell types, rods, and cones.
- This hybrid cell challenges the long-held belief that the human eye only has two types of photoreceptor cells - rods and cones.
- The discovery of this new cell type could lead to a better understanding of how the human eye and vision work, and potentially pave the way for new treatments for vision-related disorders.
