Beyond the Channels: Adhesion Functions of Aquaporin 0 and Connexin 50 in Lens Development
Lens, an avascular tissue involved in light transmission, generates an internal microcirculatory system to promote ion and fluid circulation, thus providing nutrients to internal lens cells and excreting the waste. This unique system makes up for the lack of vasculature and distinctively maintains l...
