homeostasis/metabolism
• swelling of the endoplasmic reticulum in lens epithelial cells may indicate autophagy without complete lysosomal degradation, however autophagosome formation and sequestration of organelles within the autophagosome appear to occur normally
|
vision/eye
• lens epithelial cells have larger autophagosomes and many contain mitochondria
• swelling of the endoplasmic reticulum in lens epithelial cells
|
• the number and size of speckles in the anterior and posterior lens fiber cells are increased
|
cellular
• swelling of the endoplasmic reticulum in lens epithelial cells may indicate autophagy without complete lysosomal degradation, however autophagosome formation and sequestration of organelles within the autophagosome appear to occur normally
