Development of the Ocular Lens
Frank J. Lovicu (Redaktør) ; Michael L. Robinson (Redaktør)
This book provides a comprehensive view of research in lens developmental biology, emphasising technical and molecular breakthroughs.
Elucidation of the mechanisms that govern lens development has enabled us to understand how the normal lens forms and how developmental processes are involved in the maintenance of its normal
structure, function and growth throughout life. Les mer

This book provides a comprehensive view of research in lens developmental biology, emphasising technical and molecular breakthroughs.
Elucidation of the mechanisms that govern lens development has enabled us to understand how the normal lens forms and how
developmental processes are involved in the maintenance of its normal structure, function and growth throughout life. This
knowledge is fundamental to our understanding of many lens disorders. The ocular lens has also become a model for understanding
the developmental biology of more complex organ systems. In this 2004 book, leading experts in lens cell biology and development
discuss lens evolution, induction, morphology, the regulation of the lens cell cycle and fiber cell differentiation, as well
as lens regeneration. This book is an authoritative treatment of the subject that will serve as a reference for graduate students
and research scientists in developmental biology and in the visual sciences, as well as for ophthalmologists.
