This book provides an overview of the types, sources, and
applications of stem cells in regenerating various ocular tissues,
with a perspective on both potential applications of stem cells and
possible challenges. The scope of the chapters include both
preclinical and clinical applications, including stem cell-derived
therapies based on endogenous tissue repair; stem cell
transplantation and cell replacement therapy; gene therapy; and in
vitro disease modelling. Additionally, the volume presents
applications in both anterior and posterior ocular disease, with a
particular focus on diseases of the ocular surface, cornea, limbus,
and retina, including inherited retinal dystrophies as well as
acquired diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration.
Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Therapy for the Eye is an ideal
book for advanced researchers in stem cell and ocular biology as
well as clinical ophthalmologists, and will be of interest to
readers with backgrounds in developmental biology and
bioengineering. This book also Skillfully reviews cutting-edge
advances in stem cell biology as applied to regenerative medicine
and ocular disease Provides expert viewpoints on key hurdles and
challenges to successful implementation of stem cell-derived
therapies in the clinical domain Offers a multi-disciplinary, broad
understanding of cell-based therapies for ocular diseases by
incorporating perspectives from biomedical scientists, physicians,
and engineers Examines the connection between cell therapy and gene
editing, in particular relation to ocular disease
Social computing concerns the study of social behavior and
context based on computational systems. Behavioral modeling
reproduces the social behavior, and allows for experimenting with
and deep understanding of behavior, patterns, and potential
outcomes. The pervasive use of computer and Internet technologies
provides an unprecedented environment where people can share
opinions and experiences, offer suggestions and advice, debate, and
even conduct experiments. Social computing facilitates behavioral
modeling in model building, analysis, pattern mining, anticipation,
and prediction. The proceedings from this interdisciplinary
workshop provide a platform for researchers, practitioners, and
graduate students from sociology, behavioral and computer science,
psychology, cultural study, information systems, and operations
research to share results and develop new concepts and
methodologies aimed at advancing and deepening our understanding of
social and behavioral computing to aid critical decision
making.
