Across
  1. 3. Emulsify away the cloudy junk, and replace it with this instead!
  2. 5. When dealing with these events, it often takes a long time for change to occur.
  3. 9. Steroids, cytokines, and now a certain growth factor can all mediate this event.
  4. 10. All cells have the same DNA, so why are they different?
  5. 13. After a certain transition this factor’s power is unleashed since nothing is suspending it anymore!
  6. 15. LEC… heh, more like LMC after this!
Down
  1. 1. The cell’s way of activating something; SIS3 stops this crucial step.
  2. 2. How can one truly know a protein’s relative amount?
  3. 4. Taking a piece of a lens and keeping it alive for experiments… I’ve heard that somewhere before…
  4. 6. In many tracts they either secrete or absorb, but in the lens, the posterior ones become fibers of sorts.
  5. 7. Loss of a certain glue after turning mesenchymal.
  6. 8. Structural components of cells, scaffolds for the muscles, and now they make my vision cloudy too?!
  7. 11. A certain growth factor binds to a receptor, creating a conformational change where less than normal response occurs. What kind of molecule is the growth factor?
  8. 12. These small factors can really read that instruction manual! Call it motherly instinct…
  9. 14. Not where the instruction manual is found, but rather the bulk matter of the eye’s focusing tool.
  10. 16. Member of the cytokine family, its reception leads to cloudy days.
