Systems Biology and Its Application in TCM Formulas Research
presents a theoretical research system formed for Traditional
Chinese Medicine (TCM) formulas, along with information on the
study of Shexiang Baoxin Pill (SBP), a TCM formula that has shown
significant clinical efficacy in the treatment of cardiovascular
diseases. The content combines theory and practice, and includes
guidance for both theoretical concepts and operable technical
routes. This is a valuable source not only for biomedical
researchers involved in Systems Biology studies, but also for
students and scientists interested in learning more about
Traditional Chinese Medicine and its applications in contemporary
medicine.
Liquid Biopsy: New Challenges in the era of Immunotherapy and
Precision Oncology aims to describe links between cancer, precision
oncology, and liquid biopsy, focusing on their participation to
immunotherapy management. The book provides updated information on
the main applications of liquid biopsy and immunotherapy as well as
interesting aspects useful for planning basic and translational
research activities. It helps readers understand the central
aspects of precision medicine in oncology, including the use of new
generation technologies for translational and diagnostic settings
and the main clinical trials in this area that may be useful during
their research. The book is a valuable source for cancer
researchers, oncologists and other members of the medical and
biomedical field who are interested in learning more about recent
developments in liquid biopsy and its relationship with precision
medicine and immunotherapy.
