Proteomic characterization of the human lens and Cataractogenesis

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: The goal of this review is to highlight the triumphs and frontiers in measurement of the lens proteome as it relates to onset of age-related nuclear cataract. As global life expectancy increases, so too does the frequency of age-related nuclear cataracts. Molecular therapeutics do not exist for delay or relief of cataract onset in humans. Since lens fiber cells are incapable of protein synthesis...
