The structure of human vitreous humour
Abstract
The authors have studied autopsy- and surgery-derived materials from 156 embryos and people aged 4 weeks of intrauterine growth to 85 years. Applying immunohistochemical methods allows to find out that the human vitreous humour is represented by a specific type of shaped fibrous tissue. The cell component is comprised of various by origin and functional capabilities programmed differentiations. The intercellular substance has an argentophilic originally organized fibrillous frame submerged in the primary substance, the gel state of which is obtained due to the high concentration of dissolved collagen and hyaluronic acid.
