The diversity of its parts and the precision of their interaction make it a favorite model system for a variety of developmental studies. The eye is a particularly valuable experimental system not only because its tissues provide examples of fundamental processes, but also because it is a prominent and easily accessible structure at very early embryonic ages. In order to provide an open forum for investigators working on all aspects of ocular development, a series of symposia on ocular and visual devel opment was initiated in 1973. A major objective of the symposia has been to foster communication between the basic research worker and the clinical community. It is our feeling that much can be learned on both sides from this interaction. The idea for an informal meeting allowing maximum ex change of ideas originated with Dr. Leon Candeub, who supplied the nec essary driving force that made the series a reality. Each symposium has concentrated on a different aspect of ocular development. Speakers have been selected to approach related topics from different perspectives. This book series, "Cell and Developmental Biology of the Eye," is derived from the Philadelphia symposia on ocular and visual development. Pre vious volumes are listed on the series page. We hope that the introduction of this proceedings series will make the results of research on ocular cell and developmental biology more widely known and more easily accessible. Preface The 11th Symposium on Ocular and Visual Development was held in October, 1987 to review the current understanding of cellular interactions in the development of the visual system. This volume is derived from the presentations at that symposium. Over the past few years, advances in monoclonal antibody technology and cell surface biochemistry have re vealed a complex set of cell surface molecules that appear to convey in formation between different cells of the embryonic retina and control the ultimate organization of the tissue. Many of the chapters in this volume are concerned with these molecules and how they interact with other fac tors to create the ordered structure of the mature system. These studies have been aided by the development of sensitive techniques for marking cells so that their fates can be traced. Other chapters discuss the role of the Muller cells in retinal organization. Increasing evidence suggests that interactions between Muller cells and neuronal cells direct the develop ment and maturation of the tissue. This has become particularly significant in view of recent studies which indicate that proliferative vitreoretino pathy, a major cause of blindness after retinal reattachment surgery, may arise through inappropriate stimulation of division in Muller cells. We are grateful to Dr. E. Gruberg of the Biology Department at Temple for his expertise and assistance in the organization of the meeting, to the speakers for their presentations and contributions to this volume, and to the reviewers of the manuscripts for their helpful comments. This symposium could not have been held without the generous support of the Provost and the College of Arts and Sciences of Temple University. We also thank the Albert B. Millett foundation for additional funding. This volume was prepared with the skillful assistance of George Basila, to whom we are indebted. S. Robert Hilfer Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Joel B.
