Therapy for Ocular Angiogenesis – Principles and Practice (2011) Arup Das, MD, PhD

Description

This book covers the basic pathophysiology of ocular angiogenesis and strategies for inhibition. It discusses the “Principles” of anti-angiogenic therapy, pre-clinical studies, future drugs, drug delivery, and the “Practice” of the therapy in many ocular diseases, including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vascular occlusion, and diabetic macular edema. Ocular angiogenesis is the major cause of vision loss in many neovascular eye diseases, and this text is aimed at vision researchers and clinician scientists.
