基本説明
Articles in this volume discuss ion 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 linflow with outflow of aqueous humor; aqueous humor outflow resistance; and more.
Full 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.
