| Summary: | Current Topics in Membranes provides a systematic, comprehensive, and rigorous approach to specific topics relevant to the study of cellular membranes. Each volume is a guest edited compendium of membrane biology. Articles in this volume discuss ion transport; ocular aquaporins and aqueous humor dynamics; the role of Ggap junction channels in the ciliary body secretory epithelium; regional dependence of inflow; functional modulators linking Iinflow with outflow of aqueous humor; aqueous humor outflow resistance; aqueous humor dynamics; the effects of circulatory events on aqueous humor inflow and intraocular pressure; retinal ganglion cells and glaucoma; what functional genomics is teaching us about intraocular pressure regulation and glaucoma; molecular approaches to glaucoma; outflow signaling mechanisms and new therapeutic strategies for the control of intraocular pressure. *Guest edited by cell membrane experts *Dynamic and thorough coverage of all aspects of the aqueous humor from inflow to outflow *Provides the latest teachings on genomics and glaucoma *Highlights new therapeutic strategies for the control of intraocular pressure. |
