Sažetak
In the adult mouse lens epithelium the proliferation index varies with latitude. Near the lens equator, a 300 μm-wide germinative zone (GZ) shows the highest rate of cell proliferation. Anterior to the GZ is a 400 μm- wide swath of cells called the pregerminative zone (PGZ). The rate of cell division in the PGZ is approximately 10-fold lower than in the GZ. In this study, we used a stochastic model to explore the specific contribution of the PGZ to lens growth.
