Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To elucidate the function of type II collagen in the development and diseases of the eye by analyzing the temporospatial expression of the long (IIA) and short (IIB) isoforms of type II collagen in the normal and transgenic Dell mice. METHODS: Normal and Dell transgenic embryos harboring...
