Transporters are on the membranes of cells and play a key role in transmitting signals between cells, and those particular to the ocular system have great potential in resolving current problems in treatment. The papers here range widely in possible applications but focus on molecular characteristics, localization, and substrate specifics. Topics include transport in the anterior segment, (including aquaporins and water treatment in the cornea, corneal epithelial epithelial ion transport, Vitamin C transport, and management of function), transporters of the ciliary epithelium (including mechanisms of aqueous humor formation), lens transporters (including advances in treatment of cataract), transport across the blood-retinal barrier, transport across the retinal pigment epithelium (including treatment for age-related conditions), transporters in the retina) genetic variants of ocular transporters, and ocular drug delivery. Articles include extensive illustrations and references. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
