Now, for the first time, students and new researchers in the Earth Sciences can learn the basic theory and applications from a single, accessible reference text. Assuming only minimal...
The purpose of this book is to discuss available treatments for “scars” and analyze their mechanisms from an international perspective.
“Scars” are now receiving considerably more attention internationally, because the topic of patients’ quality of life (QOL) of patients has gained in...
In the last few decades, stem cell research has developed groundbreaking technologies
to both study and treat diseases. This research has proven fruitful for
the field of ophthalmology, especially in recent years. With its relative immune
privilege, the eye has proven an ideal testing ground for stem cell therapies.
