The lens is the largest organ in the body that lacks a vasculature. The reason is simple:
blood vessels scatter and absorb light while the physiological role of the lens is to be …

purpose. To characterize the optical properties of lenses from mice deficient in the gene for
lens intrinsic membrane protein-2 (Lim2), which encodes the second most abundant integral …

Abstract Aquaporin 0 (AQP0) and AQP1 are expressed in the lens, each in a different cell
type, and their functional roles are not thoroughly understood. Our previous study showed …

purpose. Previous studies have demonstrated that in 129α3Cx46−/− mice, age-related
nuclear cataract is formed. In the present study, a more in vivo-relevant model was …

To examine the effects of increased expression of Cx50 in the mouse lens, transgenic mice
were generated using a DNA construct containing the human Cx50 coding region and a C …

Previous RT-PCR experiments revealed the expression of gene transcripts for a variety of
aquaporins in the neural retina, including aquaporin-0. We investigated by …
