DNA single strand breaks in human lens epithelial cells from patients with cataract

Abstract excerpt

In recent years, there has been renewed interest in the association between DNA damage to the lens epithelium and the development of lens opacities. Although a number of in vitro studies have indicated that lens epithelial cells are susceptible to a variety of DNA damaging insults and that these cells possess the capacity to repair such damage, no previous studies have directly addressed whether DNA damage is...
