The cells of the dorsal iris involved in lens regeneration are myoepithelial cells whose cytoskeleton changes during cell type conversion.

Anatomy and embryology - 1 Jun 1994

Yang Y, Zalik S E

Abstract excerpt

During newt lens regeneration, the pigmented epithelial cells (PECs) of the dorsal iris dedifferentiate and give rise to a new lens. We have studied the cytoskeleton of the PECs using iris flat mounts and sections. In flat-mount iris preparations stained by labelled phalloidin three main regions can be recognized: the pupillary (P) ring, the middle (M) ring, and the more external junctional (J) ring. The cells of...
