Purpose
To investigate changes in both lens shape and the epithelial distribution as emmetropia is established in C57Bl6J mice between postnatal weeks 4 to 6.
Methods
We used a computational approach to produce geometrical maps of the mouse lens and its epithelium. Conveniently our approach ulitises data collected from intact lenses imaged using a conventional laser scanning confocal microscope...
Epidemiological data correlates exposure to low dose ionising radiation (IR) and cataractogenesis later in life. Our understanding of the underlying biological mechanisms is still in its early stages as we seek to explore the applicability of the linear no‐threshold model in these low dose and low dose rate exposures. A single layer of epithelial cells (LECs) covers the anterior hemisphere of the...
