Description for Retinal Degenerations
Hardback. Explores the etiology, cellular mechanisms, epidemiology, genetics, models and potential therapeutic measures for the blinding diseases of retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration. This title reports on outer segment phagocytosis, a component of photoreceptor-retinal pigment epithelial cell interactions in retinas. Editor(s): Lavail, Matthew M. (University of California); Hollyfield, Joe G.; Anderson, Robert E. Series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology. Num Pages: 483 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJQ.

The topics in this volume explore the etiology, cellular mechanisms, epidemiology, genetics, models and potential therapeutic measures for the blinding diseases of retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration.
Special focus is highlighted in the areas of Mechanisms of Photoreceptor Degeneration and Cell Death (extremely important because very little is known how or why photoreceptors die in these diseases, despite an abundance of genetic information), Age-Related Macular Degeneration (with several novel approaches to its analysis), Usher Syndrome (the most severe form of retinitis pigmentosa, which includes an early or congenital loss of hearing along with blindness), and Gene Therapy. In addition, ... Read more
