Description for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine in Ophthalmology
hardcover. This book surveys regenerative medicine in ophthalmology, where patient- and disease-specific stem cell lines have led to breakthroughs. Coverage ranges from disease modeling, drug screening and gene targeting to clinical genetics and regenerative treatment. Editor(s): Tsang, Stephen H. Series: Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine. Num Pages: 188 pages, 2 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: MFN; MJQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 15. Weight in Grams: 473.
Patient specific and disease specific stem cell lines have already introduced groundbreaking advances into the research and practice of ophthalmology. This volume provides a comprehensive and engaging overview of the latest innovations in the field. Twelve chapters discuss the fastest growing areas in ophthalmological stem cell research, from disease modelling, drug screening and gene targeting to clinical genetics and regenerative treatments. Innovative results from stem cell research of the past decade are pointing the way toward practicable treatments for retinitis pigmentosa, age related macular degeneration, and Stargardt disease. What future directions will stem cell research take? Researchers, graduate students, and ... Read more

About Stephen H. . Ed(S): Tsang
Stephen Tsang, MD, Ph.D. is an associate professor of Ophthalmology, Pathology and Cell Biology. Since 1992, he has been working on gene-targeting in stem cells and created the first gene-targeted model for a recessive form of retinitis pigmentosa with gene-targeting in embryonic stem cell technology; this model is used in current research by numerous laboratories. He received his M.D.-Ph.D. degrees ... Read more
