Nutrigenomics and nutraceuticals
Provides an authoritative and comprehensive overview of the field of nutraceuticals and genomics—also called nutrigenomics, a rapidly growing field. It discusses both nutrigenomic and nutrigenetic techniques to investigate the nutritional basis of several health disorders because scientists have found that diet can affect gene expression. The book covers the nutrigenomic tools for the prevention of disease conditions such as cancer, viral infection, microbial infection, COVID-19, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, hypertension, neurodegenerative disease, obesity, baldness, and anemia. Some nutrigenomic tools that can also be used for brain health, weight loss, human nutrition, skin care, and maintaining health during pregnancy are also explored.
Human genetics : concepts and applications
Human genetics is about variation more than about illnesses, and increasingly about the common rather than about the rare. Once an obscure science or an occasional explanation for an odd collection of symptoms, human genetics is now part of everyday conversation. This book shows students how and why that is true.
Genome Editing : Gene Therapy or Gene Optimization?
Genome editing technology is considered one of the most revolutionary techniques lately. The ability of modifying the human genome has been one of the biggest dreams for therapist for the reason that the genetic modification with exogenous DNA can be considered a problem solver for many diseases and disorders (genetic disorders), especially those with high risks and low survival rates, on this case, gene therapy appears as the tool to be used, with its many protocols and approaches. Gene therapy is based on delivering a therapeutic gene throw suitable vectors, which is most of the time-modified viruses to carry the therapeutic genes to the target cells and so on providing the functional copy of the defective gene.
