详细

Analysis of the processes and genetic bases of the formation of the vitreous body proved the involvement of a large number of genes and factors that ensure its development, structure, and functioning. The vitreous body of adult individuals was revealed to have more than a thousand proteins. The main part of the vitreous body is represented by collagens of several types and hyaluronan. The main processes in the course of development are the formation and elimination of the system of hyaloid vessels of the vitreous body.
