The lens is a multicellular, but avascular tissue that must stay transparent to allow normal transmission of light and focusing of it on the retina. Damage to lens cells and/or proteins can cause cataracts, opacities that disrupt these processes. The normal survival of the lens is facilitated by an extensive network of gap junctions formed predominantly of connexin46 and connexin50. Mutations o...

The PVM associates with host cell organelles, possibly as a way of scavenging lipids from the host cell. On page 95, Sinai and Joiner describe a protein that mediates this association. The new work illuminates a poorly understood aspect of parasite biology...
