Removal of the lens from the eye of an adult newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) is followed by regeneration of a new lens from the dorsal iris epithelial cells at the pupillary margin. This process is dependent upon the neural retina for its normal completion in vivo and in vitro. To examine the relat
## Abstract During lens regeneration in the newt the synthesis of hyaluronic acid increases as iris cells undergo dedifferentiation, and decreases during the redifferentiation phase. In contrast, the levels of hyaluronidase activity which are high in the normal iris remain constant during regenerat
