Expression of autophagy transcripts and proteins in the ocular lens suggests a role for autophagy in lens cell and cellular differentiation

The lens is an avascular organ that focuses light onto the retina where neural signals are transmitted to the brain and translated into images. Lens transparency is vital for maintaining function. The lens is formed through a transition from organelle-rich epithelial cells to organelle-free fiber ce...
