Fas, which functions to initiate a signal causing apoptosis, is expressed in epithelia, thus, suggesting a role in controlling cell number during states of cell and matrix turnover. In view of this, we hypothesized that cell-matrix interactions may be an important determinant of Fas expression in ep
## Abstract The matricellular protein SPARC (also known as osteonectin and BMβ40) is expressed abundantly in lens epithelium. That SPARCβnull mice exhibit early cataractogenesis, indicates a role for SPARC in the maintenance of lens transparency. Comparison of cultured wildβtype and SPARCβnull lens
