Abstract excerpt
The disrupted morphology of lenses in mouse models for cataracts precludes accurate in vitro assessment of lens growth by weight. To overcome this limitation, we developed morphometric methods to assess defects in eye lens growth and shape in mice expressing the alphaA-crystallin R49C (alphaA-R49C) mutation. Our morphometric methods determine quantitative shape and dry weight of the whole lens from histological...
