    [NT 15003449]: An introductory short chapter on the different types of eyes, stressing possible common molecular machinery (mono vs polyphyletic). -- Eye diversity in the animal Kingdom -- Photosensitivity: Melanopsin, opsins -- Cyanobacteria, protozoa: photoreception, rhodopsin -- Platynereis: as a model for lochotrophozoa -- Drosophila: Superb system for genetics, genetic manipulation. -- Planaria: As a model for invertebrate eye regeneration with emphasis on stem cells. -- Fish/cavefish: As a model for retina regeneration and lens development. Zebrafish is accessible for genetic manipulation by morpholinos, medaka accessible for genetic studies. -- Xenopus: As a model for retina (via progenitor cells) and lens regeneration (by transdifferentiation from the cornea). Also an important model for transgenic studies in amphibia. -- Newt: As a model for retina and lens regeneration in adult vertebrates by transdifferentiation. Xenopus and Newt could be combined as a chapter on amphibia. -- Chick: Excellent system for retina regeneration (both transdifferentiation and stem cells) as well for lens and retina development. RCAS transgenesis is an important asset of this system. -- Mouse: Knock-out and transgenesis technologies make this animal the best mammal to study eye development. -- Rabbit: Model for cataract surgery. -- A chapter could be devoted to animals where we see recruitment of crystallins to perform other roles -- Animal models for physiology of the eye.
    [NT 15003449]: Anatomical and functional diversity of animal eyes -- The simplest eyes: rhodopsin-mediated phototaxis reception in microorganisms -- The planarian eye: a simple and plastic system with great regenerative capacity -- Development of the Drosophila melanogaster eye: from precursor specification to terminal differentiation -- The Antarctic toothfish: a new model system for eye lens biology -- Xenopus, an ideal vertebrate system for studies of eye development and regeneration -- The newt as a model for eye regeneration -- The chick as a model for retina development and regeneration -- Eye development using mouse genetics -- Epithelial explants and their application to study developmental processes in the lens -- Mouse models of the cornea and lens: understanding ocular disease -- Deciphering irradiance detection in the mammalian retina -- The rabbit in cataract/IOL surgery -- The primate in cataract/IOL surgery.
