Retinal diseases are major contributors to moderate or severe vision impairment in adults aged 50 years and older. The respective patient populations for many of these indications is expected to significantly increase as the world population continues to grow older. An improved understanding of the etiological underpinnings of ocular degenerative diseases over the past decade has significantly bolstered ophthalmic drug discovery. In this volume, contributions from leading experts explore the unique challenges faced for ocular drug discovery and delivery providing the reader with detailed information on ocular pharmacokinetics, in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo models for retinal disease pathology and emerging gene therapy treatments. The book is intended for all researchers and clinicians who wish to increase their knowledge on the latest findings in ocular drug therapy. 410 0$aTopics in Medicinal Chemistry,$x1862-247X ;$v35 606 $aMedicinal chemistry 606 $aOphthalmology 606 $aPharmaceutical chemistry 606 $aMedical genetics 606 $aMedicinal Chemistry 606 $aOphthalmology 606 $aPharmaceutics 606 $aClinical Genetics 615 0$aMedicinal chemistry. 615 0$aOphthalmology. 615 0$aPharmaceutical chemistry. 615 0$aMedical genetics. 615 14$aMedicinal Chemistry. 615 24$aOphthalmology. 615 24$aPharmaceutics. 615 24$aClinical Genetics. 676 $a615.19 702 $aCioffi$b Christopher L. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910863166203321 996 $aDrug delivery challenges and novel therapeutic approaches for retinal diseases$92520068 997 $aUNINA
