Is there evidence of 'hardening' among Australian smokers between 1997 and 2007?
We find no evidence that the declining smoking prevalence in Australia (over the last decade) has been accompanied by a 'hardening' of continuing smokers in terms of rates of mental disorders and socioeconomic disadvantage.
Fibrillin-1, -2, and, unique to humans, fibrillin-3 are found in various ocular structures during human embryonic eye development, whereas fibrillin-1 dominates the postnatal zonule. We speculate that vasculature spanning the ciliary body and lens, which elaborates fibrillin-2 and -3, may provide an initial scaffold for fibrillin assembly and zonule formation.
