ED - Zvi Loewy Y1 - 2021-03-26 PY - 2021 T1 - The Extracellular Matrix of the Human and Whale Cornea and Sclera: Implications in Glaucoma and Other Pathologies N2 - Understanding extracellular matrix (ECM) structure and function is important for developing biomedical applications that are as close to ‘native’ as possible. Written by pioneering scientists from all over the world, this book reports research and new developments in the field of collagen structure, function, and biomechanics and discusses the relevance of hyaluronic acid and its therapeutic uses. It gives readers a glimpse of what is current in this area and we hope it piques their interest in learning more about ECM biology.
