The endothelium is a monolayer of cells on the posterior corneal surface that transports
water from the stroma into the anterior chamber. This movement of water counters a natural …

Contact inhibition of locomotion (CIL) is the process by which cells in vitro change their
direction of migration upon contact with another cell. Here, we revisit the concept that CIL …

Eibschitz-Tsimhoni, MD, is a T ophthalmology and strabismus since the first wonderful …

Abstract Development of chick and rat endocardial cushions (cardiac mesenchyme) was
studied histologically (using Nomarski differential interference optics on living and unfixed …

The mesenchyme which surrounds the avian embryonic eye and forms all periocular
skeletal and connective tissues, including the orbit and part of the cornea, is derived from …

Fixation for Electron Microscopy presents how to better understand the effects of fixatives on
the molecular structure of the cell. This book attempts to consider each aspect of fixation …

Publisher Summary The development of the avian cornea involves a remarkable continuum
of highly coordinated events. The corneal epithelium is the first of the component tissues to …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the cellular adhesiveness and extracellular
substrata. Cell adhesiveness is a fundamental cell property. It plays a role in developmental …

Aniridia, a rare congenital disease, is often characterized by a progressive, pronounced
limbal insufficiency and ocular surface pathology termed aniridia-associated keratopathy …

During the development of the anterior segment of the eye, neural crest mesenchyme cells
migrate between the lens and the corneal epithelium. These cells contribute to the structures …
