Early Lens Development: -- The lens: historical and comparative perspectives / Lens induction and determination / Transcription factors in early lens development / The Lens: -- The structure of the vertebrate lens / Lens crystallins / Lens cell membranes / Lens cell cytoskeleton Roy Quinlan and Alan Prescott / Lens Development and Growth: -- Lens cell proliferation: the cell cycle / Lens fiber differentiation / Role of matrix and cell adhesion molecules in lens differentiation / Growth factors in lens development / Lens regeneration / Michael L. Robinson and Frank J. Lovicu -- Marilyn Fisher and Robert M. Grainger -- Guy Goudreau, Nicole Andrejewski and Peter Gruss -- Jer R. Kuszak and M. Joseph Costello -- Melinda K. Duncan, Ales Cvekl, Marc Kantorow and Joram Piatigorsky -- Joerg Kistler, Reiner Eckert and Paul Donaldson -- Anne E. Griep and Pumin Zhang -- Steven Bassnett and David Beebe -- A. Sue Menko and Janice L. Walker -- Richard A. Lang and John W. McAvoy -- Katia Del Rio-Tsonis and Goro Eguchi. Part I. 1. 2. 3. Part II. 4. 5. 6. 7. Part III. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.
"This comprehensive study of the developmental biology of the ocular lens will serve as a reference for graduate students and research scientists in the visual sciences and developmental biology, as well as for ophthalmologists. Clarification of the mechanisms that govern normal lens development is fundamental to our understanding of lens disorders. The lens has also become a model for studying more complex organ systems. Leading experts in lens development and structure discuss lens induction, evolution, cell cycle regulation, morphology, fiber cell differentiation, and regeneration."--Publisher description.
