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. 410 0$aOphthalmology research. 606 $aBiological transport 606 $aDrug targeting 606 $aEye$xDiseases 606 $aEye$xPhysiology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBiological transport. 615 0$aDrug targeting. 615 0$aEye$xDiseases. 615 0$aEye$xPhysiology. 676 $a612.844 676 $a617.71 701 $aBarnstable$b Colin J$0878508 701 $aTombran-Tink$b Joyce$0878509 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458368103321 996 $aOcular transporters in ophthalmic diseases and drug delivery$91961433 997 $aUNINA
