Editors:
- Focuses on the molecular characteristics, localization, and substrate specificities of several classes of well-known membrane transporters in various compartments of the eye
- Illustrates how mutations or dysfunction of specific transporters can contribute to various disorders in the eye, including blindness
- Examines how epithelial and endothelial barriers can block drug delivery and limit ocular availability of drugs
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
