Molecular genetics and candidate genes -- Diagnostic, clinical, cytopathological, and physiologic aspects of retinal degeneration -- Animal models of retinal degeneration -- Gene therapy and neuroprotection -- Usher syndrome -- Stem cells, transplantation, and retinal repair -- Induced retinal degenerations
Summary
Retinal Degenerations is the result of the International Symposium on Retinal degeneration which has become perhaps the most important research meeting in the field. 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
Notes
"XI International Symposium on Retinal Degeneration (also known as RD2004) was held from August 23-28, 2004 in Perth, Western Australia"--Page vii
