Nanomedicine : Innovations, applications, and breakthroughs in the quest for health and medicine's future
Revolutionizing healthcare, by providing innovative solutions to some of the most challenging issues in medicine. This book provides an in-depth overview of nanoscale materials and devices that are advancing diagnostics, therapeutics, and personalized care in medical field. It focuses on nanomedicine’s impact on vaccine efficacy as well as innovative diagnosis and therapy for various type of cancer while addressing concerns about safety and toxicity. It examines how nanotechnology is enhancing drug delivery by precisely targeting medicines to specific cells or tissues, thereby increasing treatment efficacy with reduced side effects. Explores how nanoparticles are advancing medical imaging for earlier and more accurate disease detection, and how nanosensors allow real-time biomarker monitoring for faster and more reliable diagnoses. Additionally, it explores nanomedicine's role in managing cardiovascular diseases, improving bone health through nano-extracellular vesicles, and regenerative medicine, including ongoing clinical trials and ethical considerations.
Microfluidics diagnostics : Methods and protocols
Explores a wide range of microfluidic-based approaches that exploit the unique features of microfluidic devices, which hold significant potential in the field of diagnosis. Beginning with a section on microchips for sample preparation, including cell-free DNA, exosomes, and cells, the book continues by covering protein marker analysis and detection, single-cell analysis, analysis of bacteria and viruses, as well as human cell-based culture and analysis. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Handbook of Biochips : Integrated Circuits and Systems for Biology and Medicine
This book provides a broad survey of the field of biochips, including fundamentals of microelectronics and biomaterials interaction with various, living tissues, as well as numerous, diverse applications. Although a wide variety of biochips will be described, there will be a focus on those at the brain-machine interface. Analysis is included of the relationship between different categories of biochips and their interactions with the body and coverage includes wireless remote control of biochips and arrays of microelectrodes, based on new biomaterials.
IUTAM symposium on theoretical, computational and modelling aspects of inelastic media ; Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held at Cape Town, South Africa, January 14–18, 2008
Comprises papers based on some of the talks presented at the IUTAM Symposium of the same name, held in Cape Town, January 14-18, 2008. This volume treats cutting-edge issues in modelling, the behaviour of various classes of inelastic media, and associated algorithms for carrying out computational simulations. A key feature of the contributions are works directed at modelling behaviour at the meso and micro-scales, and at bridging the micro-macro scales.
Bonding in Microsystem Technology
Bonding in Microsystem Technology starts with descriptions of terminology, kinds of microsystems and market analysis. Followed by the presentation of mechanisms of wet etching, set of process parameters, description of micromachining methods, examples of procedures, process flow-charts and applications of basic micromechanical structures in microsystems are shown. Next, high-temperature, low temperature and room-temperature bonding and their applications in microsystem technology are presented. The following part of the book contains the detailed description of anodic bonding, starting from analysis of properties of glasses suitable for anodic bonding, and discussion of the nature of the process. Next all types of anodic bonding and sealing procedures used in microsystem technology are presented.
