Calcium binding properties of beta-crystallins
β-Crystallins, the oligomeric proteins of the eye lens, were found to bind calcium ions with low affinity, in the millimolar range. Calcium was found to induce conformational changes in the secondary and tertiary structure of β-crystallins.

Exploring the Universe within the Human Lens Through Raman Spectroscopy
Ever since the emergence of refined modalities of cataract surgery, the looming question has been the same - How to improve the technique, to minimize manipulation of biological components and optimize the end result? The most recent development has been,

ABSTRACT High‐voltage craniofacial electrical injury may result in delayed cataract without optic nerve damage. Multimodal structural and functional assessment supports accurate prognostication, and when posterior segment integrity is preserved, visual recovery after cataract surgery is typically excellent and sustained.

The graphical abstract follows a top‐to‐bottom flow: stressors → ER–mitochondria crosstalk → ophthalmic diseases. The central panel highlights three core mitochondria‐associated membrane function axes, color‐coded as follows: light yellow for Ca2+ homeostasis, light blue for mitochondrial dynamics, and light red for mitophagy.

Expression of wildtype and Secc mutant γ-crystallins.
(A) P21 lenses were analyzed by western blotting with antibodies against total γ-crystallins and β-actin. The expression of γ-crystallins reduced significantly in Secc mutant lenses.

Crystallins are present in the lens at extremely high concentrations in order to provide transparency and generate a high refractive power of the lens. The crystallin families prevalent in the highest density lens tissues are γ-crystallins in vertebrates

Decreased heat stability and increased chaperone requirement of modified human βB1-crystallins
Purpose: To determine how deamidation and partial loss of the N- and C-terminal extensions alter the heat stability of βB1-crystallin. Methods: Human lens βB1, a deamidated βB1, Q204E, and αA-crystallins were expressed.

A scanning laser ophthalmoscope, integrated with a real‐time optical coherence tomography (OCT) alignment monitor, detected flavoprotein fluorescence (FPF) signals associated with mitochondrial dysfunction in a rodent glaucoma model. Under 450‐nm excitation, experimental eyes showed spatially inhomogeneous signals that were absent under 505‐nm ...
