The water meniscus bisects the eyes of the “four-eyed” fish Anableps anableps, resulting in simultaneous vision in air and water. We compare the structure and macromolecular compositions of the Anableps dorsal (air) and ventral (water) corneas wi

Statins are commonly prescribed cholesterol-lowering agents which inhibit the rate-limiting enzyme of the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway. In addition to inhibiting cholesterol synthesis, statins also inhibit the synthesis of other sterol and non-st

Lipofuscins, also known as age-pigments, have three defining characteristics: (1) they consist of intracellular secondary lysosomes; (2) they have a yellow autofluorescent emission when excited by near ultraviolet or blue light; and (3) they accumula

While many of the diverse crystallins of the transparent lens of vertebrates are related or identical to metabolic enzymes, much less is known about the lens crystallins of invertebrates. Here we investigate the complex eye of scallops. Electron micr

The purpose of this study was to determine whether capillary dilation is one of the earliest structural changes in the diabetic-like retinopathy of the galactose-fed rat model and thus may represent a stage where intervention treatment might still be

Hyperglycemia plays a primary causal role in the early vascular damage leading to diabetic retinopathy, but the intermediate biochemical mechanisms involved are not known. Because albumin modified by Amadori glucose adducts has been implicated in the

We have discovered a spontaneous mutation in the Sprague-Dawley rat with a novel eye phenotype that we have named Nuc1. The Nuc1 mutation behaves as a single semi-dominant locus with an intermediate phenotype in the heterozygotes. Heterozygotes exhib

The Pax6 transcription factor functions early during embryogenesis to control key steps in brain, pancreas, olfactory and ocular system development. A requirement for Pax6 in proper formation of lens, iris and retina is well documented. By examining

We have constructed an ALDH3a1 null mouse to investigate the role of this enzyme that comprises nearly one-half of the total water-soluble protein in the mouse corneal epithelium. ALDH3a1-deficient mice are viable and fertile, have a corneal epitheli

In Opj, an inherited cataract in mice, opacity is associated with a mutation in Crygs, the gene for gammaS-crystallin, the first mutation to be associated with this gene. A single base change causes replacement of Phe-9, a key hydrophobic residue in
