Bioengineered Nanomaterials
- 2013
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- "This book focuses on the novel methodologies and strategies adopted during recent research and development of bioengineered nanomaterials for biomedical applications. It provides comprehensive and updated information on developments in this emerging area. The chapters discuss topics such as nanoemulsions as a vaccine adjuvant, bio-ceramic nanomaterials in medical applications, the potential of nanoparticles for the treatment of solid tumors and metastasis, natural and synthetic nanoporous membranes for cell encapsulation therapy, silver nanoparticles, nanotoxcity testing and bioapplications, inorganic nanoparticle materials for controlled release of drugs, and more"--Provided by publisher.Many varieties of new, complex diseases are constantly being discovered, which leaves scientists with little choice but to embrace innovative methods for controlling the invasion of life-threatening problems. The use of nanotechnology has given scientists an opportunity to create nanomaterials that could help medical professionals in diagnosing and treating problems quickly and effectively. Bioengineered Nanomaterials presents in-depth information on bioengineered nanomaterials currently being developed in leading research laboratories around the world. In particular, the book focuses on nanom.

CRISPR : methods and protocols
- 2015
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This volume presents a list of cutting-edge protocols for the study of CRISPR-Cas defense systems and their applications at the genomic, genetic, biochemical and structural levels. CRISPR: Methods and Protocols guides readers through techniques that have been developed specifically for the analysis of CRISPR-Cas and techniques adapted from standard protocols of DNA, RNA and protein biology. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge, CRISPR: Methods and Protocols provides a broad list of tools and techniques to study the interdisciplinary aspects of the prokaryotic CRISPR-Cas defense systems.

Global Bodies in Grey Zones : Hope, Health, Biotechnology
- 2016
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Global Bodies in Grey Zones departs from the current globalised market in biological material and treatments. Three different forms of medical travel are in focus: transplant travel, fertility travel and stem cell travel. The global travelling includes legally organised cross-border care, as well as completely illegal activities involving trafficking in bodies and body parts implicating a range of people, technologies and treatments. The theoretical focus is grey zones – various places where people, money, bodies, and so on constitute components in an international market. The authors are researchers from the cultural, social and medical sciences. They examine how people’s desperation, hopes and longing for health and reproduction fuel the travels

Biomedical Research, Medicine, and Disease
- 2023
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Biomedical research is the first step towards the creation of new medications and treatments that help to manage different types of health conditions and diseases. The prevention and cure of diseases would be practically impossible without such type of research. Although the drug discovery and development processes are far too costly, time-consuming, prone to failure, and have low success rate, today the term "translational research or medicine" seems to have become trendy, yet it is insufficient. The present book is a sincere attempt by dedicated researchers to convey the importance of translational biomedical research, medicine, and disease, primarily, basic and clinical difficulties in the translation of diagnostic measures, pharmaceutical advances, biomarkers, diagnostics, and therapeutics. This book is meant for researchers, scientists, healthcare professionals, industry, innovators, and students of biomedical sciences, as well as for those involved in the basic sciences, biochemistry, biotechnology, biophysics, and life sciences in general.
