The interested specialist in one field can thus have access to information from the other fields and develop a broad concept of the challenges to be faced in achieving the ultimate goal, i.e. an optically clear, visually satisfactory, functioning corneal graft which is tolerated in the long term without the need for systemic immunosuppression. A second purpose of the book is to provide information regarding current immunological concepts of the process of corneal graft rejection. In particular, recent work in the fields of innate versus adaptive immunity, novel therapeutics and corneal xenografts is presented.CorneaTransplantationEyeSurgeryCorneaTransplantation.EyeSurgery.617.719Forrester John V920914Kuffova Lucia1649969MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810486103321Corneal transplantation3999067UNINA
