vision/eye
• peripheral fiber cells of E16.5 lenses contain degenerated mitochondria with severe loss of matrix and cristae or with vacuoles
• severely disrupted actin filaments are seen in contact regions between anterior epithelial cells and posterior fiber cells in lenses at E16.5
• altered epithelial cells and degenerated fiber cells are seen in lenses; epithelial cells are detached from or aggregated beneath the lense capsule and posterior fiber cells are only partially elongated
• epithelium is severely altered; epithelial layer contains irregularly shaped cells and vesicle-like cellular structures, thus lacking polarized monolayer of cuboidal epithelial cells morphology seen in wild-type
• severely disrupted actin filaments are seen in contact regions between anterior epithelial cells and posterior fiber cells in lenses at E16.5
