| Name: | lens epithelium |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | |
| Definition: | Epithelium which borders the anterior and equitorial region of the lens. Lens growth in zebrafish occurs via the differentiation of additional fibre cells from lens epithelial cells. |
| Ontology: | Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0001326] |
| Name: | lens fiber cell differentiation |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | lens fibre cell differentiation |
| Definition: | The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a lens fiber cell, any of the elongated, tightly packed cells that make up the bulk of the mature lens in the camera-type eye. The cytoplasm of a lens fiber cell is devoid of most intracellular organelles including the cell nucleus, and contains primarily crystallins, a group of water-soluble proteins expressed in vary large quantities. |
