"One of the reasons that the crystalline lenses of vertebrate eyes are highly transparent is that most of the cells have broken down all of their organelles, including the nuclei. These cells can neither synthesize new proteins nor generate energy by electron transport in the mitochondria [1, 2]," researchers in Lund, Sweden report (see also Biology).
"Only in the peripheral layers-in the cichlid fish Aequidens pulcher, beyond 92% of the lens radius-are there cells with full complements of organelles. We report here that the optical properties of the lens change between the light-adapted and dark-adapted states in A. pulcher. Changes occur even in cell layers free of …
