Abstract
LENS regeneration by the dorsal iris in the lentectomized newt is a phenomenon which has been studied from the viewpoints of experimental embryology1,2 as well as cell biology3–7. Most of the studies so far reported, however, have been performed in vivo. The potential advantages of performing such studies in controlled conditions led us to develop an in vitro method for the culture of the regenerating lens of the newt Triturus viridescens.
