Purpose. Ultraviolet-B radiation (290–320 nm) produces cataracts in animals and has been
associated with human cataract formation in several epidemiological studies. UVB radiation …

Lens epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation are naturally well regulated and
controlled, a characteristic essential for lens structure, symmetry and function. The effect of …

BACKGROUND/AIMS Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of mammalian cells in culture evokes the
transcriptional activation of different proto-oncogenes, among them members of the fos/jun …

The purpose of this study is to observe dynamic morphological changes induced by
ultraviolet (UV) irradiation in a cultured human lens epithelial cell line using electron …

Aging of the eye lens represents the life-long accumulation of damage. Factors responsible
for age-related cataract are unknown because medical evaluations of aged populations …

Exposure of cultured rabbit lens epithelial cells to repetitive doses of UV-B radiation delays
their growth and alters the synthesis of specific proteins. Irradiated cells on the shoulder of …

While solar radiation falling on earth comprises light in the infrared, visible, UVA, UVB, and
even UVC ranges, the light incident on, and thus important to the biology of, the eye lens is …

Because of the increasing application of ionizing radiation in medicine, quantitative data on
effects of low-dose radiation are needed to optimize radiation protection, particularly with …

X-irradiation of frog eyes with natural and experimentally induced differences in lenticular
mitotic activity reveals cataractogenesis to be dependent on the proliferative activity of the …
