Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine in Ophthalmology 2013th Edition (2013) by Stephen Tsang PDF

Description

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 fellows alike will find food for thought in this insightful guide tapping into the collective knowledge of leaders in the field. Stem Cells in Ophthalmology is part of the Stem Cells in Regenerative Medicine series dedicated to discussing current challenges and future directions in stem cell research.

Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Outstanding reference in stem cells. Still current in 2020! Highly recommend.

⭐This books truly captures the excitement and potential within the field of regenerative medicine and its application to the treatment frontier of ophthalmology. The content within each chapter is insightfully chosen to not only inform its readership, but to tell an inspiring story in a coherent and relevant sequence . The depth of topics is well calibrated to the understanding of both the generally-educated public as well as an informed retina specialist or vision scientist.I give this book my highest recommendation and thank the editor and authors for making this contribution to the scientific and medical literature.

⭐I like the book very much! Dr. Tsang give us a good context to understand the eye stem cell and regenerative medicine.It is very useful for the people who are new invovled in the eye stem cell or regenerative research.It is more intuitive description of the research results and progress,so we understand the direction of future research and the problems.

⭐This book gives a great overview to understanding the most up-to-date innovations in ophthalmic medicine. I highly recommend it to everyone of all levels.

⭐State of the art, up to date reviews for scientists and clinicians. Useful for teaching and researchers, very well referenced and edited.
