Description: "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 transport; ocular aquaporins and aqueous humor dynamics; the role of Gap junction channels in the ciliary body secretory epithelium; regional dependence of inflow; functional modulators linking inflow 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.This book is guest edited by cell membrane experts. It presents a dynamic and thorough coverage of all aspects of the aqueous humor from inflow to outflow. It provides the latest teachings on genomics and glaucoma and highlights new therapeutic strategies for the control of intraocular pressure.
