我們身體的各部份均是由細胞組成,眼睛晶片也自當然不例外。700Please respect copyright.PENANA28rmjBikL7
但細胞裡頭有著各式各樣的細胞器官,例如負責製造能源的粒線體(mitochondria)、收藏DNA的細胞核(nucleus)等,它們顯然並不是透明的。700Please respect copyright.PENANAHGsfaVzfjm
700Please respect copyright.PENANA0rRSGGWjkP
究竟身體有甚麼方法可以製造透明且能讓光線通過的眼鏡晶片呢?700Please respect copyright.PENANAV6U9pmUs6u

(圖2)答案很簡單,就是把那些細胞器官通通摧毀。700Please respect copyright.PENANAp8JWzu2e2j
700Please respect copyright.PENANAknDmsUKgTO
700Please respect copyright.PENANAiTBJ2avvit
從圖中可見,晶片的外圍有著表皮細胞(Epithelial cells)以及纖維細胞(Fibre cells),唯獨是中間區域的細胞,它們的細胞器官均接近得消失得一乾二淨。700Please respect copyright.PENANASw1S6ywTqg

(圖3)有科學家利用班馬魚作動物模型,並將兩款細胞器官分別染成綠色及紅色。700Please respect copyright.PENANA4tXMb6HXee
700Please respect copyright.PENANAvXaCJYYii9
700Please respect copyright.PENANAf0iLaqPq84
從圖中可見,直至班馬魚受精後約59小時左右,綠色及紅色均分別清晰可見及有著其獨特的分佈,表示兩款細胞器官非常健在。700Please respect copyright.PENANAt2pXZWIsR6
但在約60小時打後,紅色和綠色開始有著衰退的現象,亦即表示細胞器官開始逐漸被受摧毀。700Please respect copyright.PENANAIBat7gC5yt

(圖4)找出眼睛晶片的細胞器官被受摧毀的時段後,研究人員便著手進行一系列的實驗,700Please respect copyright.PENANAYSZUYIraTb
並發現名為plaat的蛋白質負責在細胞器官的外膜進行破壞,因而引發細胞器官摧毀的過程。700Please respect copyright.PENANA3jhsaz3ZG0
700Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6Xp0dWunQ
700Please respect copyright.PENANA2mr7Ei1FBY
圖中為班馬魚的眼睛晶片,可見因為缺乏plaat蛋白質的緣故,細胞器官沒能完整摧毀,其晶片亦變得相對上混濁及不透光,影像亦較為不清晰。700Please respect copyright.PENANAWjyXT53qTd

(圖5)除班馬魚外,研究人員亦有利用老鼠進行實驗。700Please respect copyright.PENANAS7vnkxEhAx
700Please respect copyright.PENANAhhtXR07nXC
700Please respect copyright.PENANA4lrNMefoqH
跟班馬魚一樣,缺乏plaat蛋白質的老鼠眼睛晶片變得混濁及不透光,並影響視線。700Please respect copyright.PENANA2NJlfhHnVQ
