The preparations used to study calcium in lens epithelial cells and its role in cataract formation

Andjelić, Sofija (avtor), Zupančič, Gregor (avtor), Hawlina, Marko (avtor)

This review summarizes relevant publications and our recent work related to the structure and the function of the lens epithelium and its role in the formation of cataract as well as its correlation with changes in intracellularcalcium, as studied on different types of preparations. It is emphasized that the human lens capsule preparation isolated during the cataract surgery is an adequate source for the studies of lens epithelial cells and we highlight the possibilities for studying the intracellular calcium homeostasis and the cataract.
