Recenzii
From the reviews:“The ophthalmic structures and tissues present a series of mechanisms necessary to homeostasis maintenance, in order to enable and support the vision function. … this book is indicated for physicians, pharmacologists, pharmacotechnicians, and investigators who wish to understand and study the complex processes of transportation and homeostasis of ocular globe, as well as to develop and formulate eye drops or apply therapies in the ophthalmology area.” (Vladi Olga Consiglieri, Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2009)

Textul de pe ultima copertă
This exceptionally important new work represents recent discoveries and advancements in the study of ocular transporters and their roles in ocular physiology, pathology, and drug delivery. Transporters are found on the membranes of cells and play a key role in transmitting signals between cells. In Ocular Transporters in Ophthalmic Diseases and Drug Delivery, a panel of distinguished authors discusses all the latest developments in the study of ocular transporters. Focusing on the molecular characteristics, localization, and substrate specificities in various compartments of the eye, this volume discusses how transporters regulate the clarity of the cornea and lens, the movements of fluids across the ciliary epithelium, and the transport of nutrients across the retinal pigment epithelium. It also provides an in-depth look at how mutations or dysfunction of specific transporters can contribute to various disorders in the eye, including blindness, and provides readers with potential targets and strategies to allow safe passage of therapeutic drugs into the eye. Ocular Transporters in Ophthalmic Diseases and Drug Delivery is the first text book in this field and offers up-to-date information to clinicians, research scientists in academia, and the pharmaceutical industry. This work has clinical implications for drug development and therapeutic drug delivery, making it an invaluable resource for readers.
Caracteristici
Focuses on the molecular characteristics, localization, and substrate specificities of several classes of well-known membrane transporters in various compartments of the eye Illustrates how mutations or dysfunction of specific transporters can contribute to various disorders in the eye, including blindness Examines how epithelial and endothelial barriers can block drug delivery and limit ocular availability of drugs Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
