Ocular Neuroprotection

Ocular neuroprotection is aimed at protecting the death of photoreceptors, retinal ganglion, or other important neurons in cases of disease or trauma. Levin (ophthalmology and neurology, U. of Wisconsin at Madison, US) and Di Polo (pathology and cell biology, U. of Montreal, Canada) present 18 chapters focusing on research and clinical issues. The bulk of the book explains research methods at the laboratory level, emphasizing cell culture and animal models, classes of drugs, biochemical and cellular outcome measures, and applicability to human disease. The final three chapters examine issues of recruitment, outcome measures, and the regulatory environment in relation to clinical trials. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
