Diabetic Retinopathy
This detailed volume provides various cellular and experimental animal models and research methodologies to understand the complex interrelated pathophysiological mechanisms triggered by hyperglycemia that underlie the development of diabetic retinopathy. The book covers methods for understanding the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy, detection and screening of biomarkers in diabetic retinopathy, as well as novel technologies for diabetic retinopathy management. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Diabetic Retinopathy: Methods and Protocols serves as an invaluable resource for scientists and clinicians who are interested in the area of ophthalmology research.
Skin Tissue Engineering
This volume provides protocols describing the isolation and culture of diverse cell types stemming from the skin and the use of these cells and cell constructs for wound healing, bioengineering applications, and translational medicine purposes. The book is divided into three sections describing the isolation and culture of diverse skin cells, managing these cells within co-culture systems and skin models, as well as using these skin models in a test setting. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Skin Tissue Engineering: Methods and Protocols serves as a vital aid to basic and clinical researchers such as biologists, physicians, and biomedical engineers working with and being interested in basic science, and clinically and laboratory-applicable translational regenerative medicine.
Skin Pigmentation
In this book, the authors discuss the genetics, geographic variation and disorders associated with skin pigmentation. Topics include the melanocortin-1 receptor as a key melanoma risk determinant and a critical regulator of the UV DNA damage repair response; three major signalling pathways involved in the establishment of mammalian skin and hair coloration via the regulation of tyrosinase activity; multiple genes and diverse hierarchical pathways that affect human pigmentation; acquired skin pigmenation; the pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) and melanocortin systems in the regulation of human skin pigmentation; and an overview on the melanocyte precursor migration from neural crest.
Surgical Retina
An update on the essentials of retina surgery In the new book series ESASO Course Series', the essentials of the courses of the European School for Advanced Studies in Ophthalmology (ESASO) are made available to interested ophthalmologists, optometrists, technicians and residents all over the world. In this volume, the seminars on surgical retina presented by renowned experts during ESASO's activities are collected. Many specialists have contributed their knowledge to make this volume a device to give practical support. The topics range from prevention to state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques and the latest surgical treatment options for many eye conditions such as diabetic retinopathy and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. This publication provides the ophthalmologist with the main aspects of surgical retina in a simple and practical update.
Ocular Drug Delivery: Advances, Challenges and Applications
The eye is a computerized system that has been designed for self-defense, and these defense mechanisms create challenges in administration of medications to the eye. Therefore, ocular drug delivery has been a major challenge to drug delivery researchers. There are on-going studies, in search of treatment especially for the diseases affecting the posterior segment of the eye. This book gives and overview of the background of ocular drug delivery and is unique for pharmacists, medical practitioners, students and drug delivery researchers.
Ocular Angiogenesis
Leading academic and pharmaceutical researchers and clinicians from many disciplines synthesize and summarize current clinical and basic knowledge concerning abnormal growth of blood vessels in the eye, the cause of major neovascular eye diseases. The authors also identify and assess the most promising approaches with potential for commercial exploitation and discuss the challenges encountered in developing therapeutics for ocular neovascular diseases. Highlights include illuminating chapters on gene therapy and novel drug delivery systems and excellent summaries of the newest therapeutic approaches.
