Previous studies from our laboratory have led us to conclude that lens cell elongation is caused by an increase in cell volume. This volume increase results from an increase in the potassium content of the cells due to decreased potassium efflux. In contrast, an increase in the volume of most cells
Lens epithelial cells can be kept in their original differentiated state or brought to dedifferentiation depending on the culture conditions. The different stages of differentiation can be identified using specific markers, namely the activity of steroid metabolizing enzymes, and the synthesis of sp
