Cardiac gene therapy : Methods and protocols
Discussions on topics such as gene suppression, editing, and reprogramming; cardiac gene therapy vectors and promoters; cardiac gene delivery methods; pulmonary hypertension; and patient screening and measuring the efficacy of cardiac gene therapy. 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.
Cancer Gene Therapy
the authors comprehensively review the anticancer genes and gene delivery methods currently available for cancer gene therapy, including the transfer of genetic material into the cancer cells, stimulation of the immune system to recognize and eliminate cancer cells, and the targeting of the nonmalignant stromal cells that support their growth. They also thoroughly examine the advantages and limitations of the different therapies and detail strategies to overcome obstacles to their clinical implementation
Cancer Chemotherapy in Clinical Practice
This book summarises the whole range of systemic cancer therapies, explaining their mode of action and potential side-effects, as well as their clinical applications.
Bone Marrow Derived Progenitors
The ability of stem cells to acquire different desired phenotypes has opened the door for a new discipline: regenerative medicine. Much of the interest for this purpose is generated by embryonic stem cells, but their use is still controversial for moral reasons as well as scientifically. Less controversial and readily available are the adult bone marrow-derived progenitors including hematopoietic stem cells, endothelial progenitors and mesenchymal stem cells. The ambitious goal of this volume is to provide a comprehensive overview of the currently available information related to the therapeutic utility of adult bone marrow-derived cells. Each chapter has been written by an accomplished expert in the field, making this a hugely valuable resource for anyone looking for an up-to-the-minute assessment of current practice in adult bone marrow-derived cell therapy.
Biopharmaceutical manufacturing progress, trends and challenges
Source of the latest innovative research and technical development in biomanufacturing systems. It is organised into 2 parts: 1) Manufacturing of recombinant therapeutic proteins (e.g. therapeutic antibodies, biosimilars/biogenerics) and 2) Manufacturing aspects of cell and gene therapy. Each with selected chapters on the following topics for both up- and downstream, such as: Advanced process strategies, especially continuous manufacturing, Advanced culture techniques, especially single-use systems, Process transfer, scale-up/scale-down models, Processing advances/Manufacturing productivity/efficiency, Model-assisted process understanding and development/Digital Twins, Process controls and analytics, Quality control, Quality by design, Facility design and full-scale commercial systems, manufacturing technology innovation.
BioMEMS and biomedical nanotechnology ; Vol. II : Micro/Nano Technologies for Genomics and Proteomics
Numerous miniaturized DNA microarray, DNA chip, Lab on a Chip and biosensor devices have been developed and commercialized. Such devices are improving the way many impor-tant genomic and proteomic analyses are performed in both research and clinical diagnostic laboratories. The development of these technologies was enabled by a synergistic combina-tion of disciplines that include microfabrication, microfluidics, MEMS, organic chemistry and molecular biology. Some of these new devices and technologies utilize sophisticated mi-crofabrication processes developed by the semiconductor industry.
Baculovirus : Methods and protocols
Provides up-to-date guidance on techniques used to work with baculoviruses and insect cells. The book provides basic methods to create recombinant baculoviruses, to improve productivity, to produce a variety of products, to purify products, to quantify baculovirus stocks or to quantify product produced, and it concludes with alternative uses of either baculovirus or insect cells as tools. 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.
Atherosclerosis : Diet and Drugs
Divided into four parts and intends to give an overview on the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, established treatment and prevention regimen, and of perspectives for the development of new treatment modalities.
Artificial intelligence based cancer nanomedicine : Diagnostics, therapeutics and bioethics
Nanomedicine is evolving with novel drug formulations devised for multifunctional approaches towards diagnostics ad therapeutics. Nanomedicine-based drug therapy is normally explored at a fixed dose. The drug action is time-dependent, dose-dependent and patient-specific. To overcome challenges of nanomedicine testing, artificial intelligence (AI) serves as a helping tool for optimizing the drug and dose parameters. Real time conversions between these two features enables upgradation of patient data acquisition and improved design of nanomaterials. In this scenario, AI-based pattern analysis and algorithms models can greatly improve accuracy of diagnostics and therapeutics.
