Description
The volume contains the papers from the 4th International Symposium on Uveitis (ISU) held in Yokohama, Japan. The spirited discussions showed how the progress made in the field of uveitis has been in the past several years. The ISU explored many aspects of the broad fields of uveitis and ocular immunology. Although there is no clarity in the mechanism and pathophysiology of uveitis, many research findings were reported by a number of disciplines ranging from clinical findings to molecular biology. This book contains scientific information that can be useful as a reference to those interested in uveitis and ocular immunology. Furthermore, it can be utilized as a solid foundation for future work in the field.
