Temporal characterization of optic fissure basement membrane composition suggests nidogen may be an initial target of remodeling
Abstract
Fusion of the optic fissure is necessary to complete retinal morphogenesis and ensure proper function of the optic stalk. Failure of this event leads to congenital coloboma, one of the leading causes of pediatric blindness. Mechanistically it is widely accepted that the basement membrane (BM) surrounding the maturing retina needs to be remodeled within the fissure in order to facilitate subsequent epithelial sheet fusion. However, the mechanism...
