title: MicroRNA maintenance of cone outer segments.
abstract: The function of cone photoreceptors depends upon the formation and maintenance of outer segments, which are lost in degenerative diseases. reveal a critical role for microRNAs, specifically miR-182 and miR-183, in the maintenance of these specialized structures.
