PURPOSE: To investigate the role of tenascin-C in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of the lens epithelium during wound healing in mice. Tenascin-C is a component of the extracellular matrix in patients having post-operative capsular opacification. METHODS: The crystalline lens was injured by...
