| Abstract |
The eye and lens represent excellent models to understand embryonic development at cellular and molecular levels. Initial 3D formation of the eye depends on a reciprocal invagination of the lens placode/optic vesicle to form the eye primordium, i.e., the optic cup partially surrounding the lens vesicle. Subsequently, the anterior part of the lens vesicle gives rise to the lens epithelium, while the posterior cells of the lens vesicle differentiate into highly elongated lens fibers. Lens fiber differentiation involves cytoskeletal rearrangements, cellular elongation, accumulation of crystallin proteins, production of extracellular matrix for the lens capsule, and degradation of organelles. This chapter summarizes recent advances in lens development and provides insights into the regulatory mechanisms and differentiation at the level of chromatin structure and dynamics, the emerging field of noncoding RNAs, and novel strategies to fill the gaps in our understanding of lens development. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 February 2016.
All research outputs
#14,236,953
of 22,826,360 outputs
Outputs from Progress in molecular biology and translational science
#349
of 611 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#186,786
of 353,125 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Progress in molecular biology and translational science
#37
of 74 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,826,360 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 611 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.9. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 353,125 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 74 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
