Photoreceptor Cell Biology And Inherited Retinal DegenerationsDavid S Williams This important book presents review articles on the cell biology of photoreceptor and RPE cells, as well as the relationship between this cell biology and inherited photoreceptor degeneration. The chapters have been written by leaders in the field. The vision scientist will see this book as a review of photoreceptor and RPE cell biology, and known molecular bases of many forms of retinitis pigmentosa and related retinal degeneration. For the cell biologist, there are articles on topics such as protein targeting, molecular motors, and phagocytosis placed in the functional context of two of the most specialized cells in the body.This book has been selected for coverage in:• CC / Clinical Medicine• Neuroscience Citation Index®• Index to Scientific Book Contents® (ISBC) |
