Immunohistochemical Study of Type IV Collagen during Lense Development

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Extracellular matrix (ECM) and basement membrane (BM) play important roles in many developmental processes during development and after birth. Among the components of the BM, collagen fibers especially type IV is the most important part of BM. The aim of this study was to d...
