A detailed freeze fracture study of human lenses of various ages revealed that coupling between epithelial cells and fibres occurs only in a limited area in the equator of the lens; it also demonstrated that the extent of coupling is independent of age. The developing fibres remain coupled to their original neighbours and no other contacts between epithelial cells and fibres appear to be established.
一项针对不同年龄段人类晶状体的详细冷冻蚀刻研究表明，上皮细胞与纤维之间的耦合仅发生在晶状体赤道的有限区域；该研究还表明，耦合程度与年龄无关。正在发育的纤维仍与它们原来的相邻细胞保持耦合，上皮细胞与纤维之间似乎未形成其他接触。
