Abstract: The protein content in human lens fiber cell plasma membranes is extremely high, increases with age, and is higher in the nucleus than in cortex. This strongly affects the organization and physical properties of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0286388
Abstract: The vertebrate eye lens grows incrementally, adding layers of elongated, tightly packed lens fiber cells at the outer margin of the lens. With subsequent growth, previously-deposited fiber cells degrade, leaving a region of fully denucleated… read more here.
