low-power, high-speed efficient biomedical devices, circuits and
systems. The book outlines new methods to enhance system
performance, provides key parameters to explore the electronic
devices and circuit biomedical applications, and discusses
innovative materials that improve device performance, even for
those with smaller dimensions and lower costs. This book is ideal
for graduate students in biomedical engineering and medical
informatics, biomedical engineers, medical device designers, and
researchers in signal processing.
Prostheses for the Brain: Introduction to Neuroprosthetics bridges
the disciplines required in the field of neuroprosthetics and
provides the interdisciplinary base required for understanding
neuroprosthetic devices. It introduces basic aspects from the
physical, bioengineering and medical perspectives, and forms a
common knowledge base. It provides the entrance to the field and
sets realistic expectations, both regarding potentials as well as
limitations, for the devices in both design and outcomes. The book
additionally reviews the technology behind the most frequently used
and most clinically successful neuroprosthetic devices. It provides
the physiological background for their function, as well as the
technology behind them. Finally, the authors suggest future
possible developments that may play crucial role in new prostheses
for the brain. This gives the reader a comprehensive view on the
principles and applications of neuroprostheses. This book has been
built from the authors course they teach on neuroprostheses and is
ideal for students, engineers and medical professionals in this
field.
In this engaging account of innovative triumphs, Guru Madhavan
examines the ways in which engineers throughout history created
world-changing tools, from ATMs and ZIP codes to the digital camera
and the disposable diaper. Equal parts personal, practical, and
profound, Applied Minds charts a path to a future where we borrow
strategies from engineering to find inspired solutions to our most
pressing challenges.
Towards 4D Printing presents the current state of three-dimensional
(3D) bioprinting and its recent offspring, 4D bioprinting. These
are attractive approaches to tissue engineering because they hold
the promise of building bulky tissue constructs with incorporated
vasculature. Starting with the discussion of 3D and 4D printing of
inanimate objects, the book presents several 3D bioprinting
techniques and points out the challenges imposed by living cells on
the bioprinting process. It argues that, in order to fine-tune the
bioprinter, one needs a quantitative analysis of the conditions
experienced by cells during printing. Once the printing is over,
the construct evolves according to mechanisms known from
developmental biology. These are described in the book along with
computer simulations that aim to predict the outcome of 3D
bioprinting. In addition, the book provides the latest information
on the principles and applications of 4D bioprinting, such as for
medical devices and assistive technology. The last chapter
discusses the perspectives of the field. This book provides an
up-to date description of the theoretical tools developed for the
optimization of 3D bioprinting, presents the morphogenetic
mechanisms responsible for the post-printing evolution of the
bioprinted construct and describing computational methods for
simulating this evolution, and discusses the leap from 3D to 4D
bioprinting in the light of the latest developments in the field.
Most importantly, Towards 4D Printing explains the importance of
theoretical modeling for the progress of 3D and 4D bioprinting.
Applications of Nanotechnology in Drug Discovery and Delivery, in
the Drug Discovery Update series, presents complete coverage of the
application of nanotechnology in the discovery of new drugs and
efficient target delivery of drugs. The book highlights recent
advances of nanotechnology applications in the biomedical sciences,
starting with chapters that provide the basics of nanotechnology,
nanoparticles and nanocarriers. Part II deals with the application
of nanotechnology in drug discovery, with an emphasis on enhanced
delivery of pharmaceutical products, with Part III discussing
toxicological and safety issues arising from the use of
nanomaterials. This book brings together a global team of experts,
making it an essential resource for researchers, drug developers,
medicinal chemists, toxicologists and analytical chemists.
Emerging Phytosynthesized Nanomaterials for Biomedical Applications
provides readers with an increased understanding of the efficacy of
phytochemicals obtained from plant extracts for the synthesis of
nanomaterials, mechanism of formation, and the development of
functional composites, all while still minimizing toxicity to
humans and the environment. The book presents various novel
biomedical applications of phytosynthesized nanomaterials for
cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular treatment, drug delivery,
antimicrobial agents, orthopedics, and biosensors, as well as
pharmaceutical product development. This is an important reference
source for biomaterials scientists and plant scientists looking to
increase their understanding of how photosynthesized nanomaterials
can be used in biomedical applications.
Microfluidic Biosensors provides a comprehensive overview of the
most recent and emerging technologies in the design, fabrication
and integration of microfluidics with transducers. The book
discusses the design and principle of microfluidic systems and how
to use them for lab-on-a-chip applications. The microfluidic
fabrication technologies covered in this book provide an up-to-date
view, allowing the community to think of new ways to overcome
challenges faced in this field. The book's focus is on existing and
emerging technologies not currently being analyzed extensively
elsewhere, thus providing a unique perspective and much needed
content. The editors have crafted this book to be accessible to all
levels of academics, from graduate students, researchers and
professors working in the fields of biosensors, microfluidics
design, analytical chemistry, biomedical devices and biomedical
engineering. It will also be useful for industry professionals
working for microfluidic device manufacturers, or in the biosensor
and biomedical devices industry.
Engineered Nanomaterials for Sustainable Agricultural Production,
Soil Improvement and Stress Management highlights the latest
advances in applying this important technology within agriculture
sectors for sustainable growth, production and protection. The book
explores various smart engineered nanomaterials which are now being
used as an important tool for improving growth and productivity of
crops facing abiotic stresses, improving the health of the soil in
which those crops are growing, and addressing stresses once the
plant begins to produce food yield. The book includes insights into
the use of nanoparticles as bactericides, fungicides and
nanofertilizers. In addition, the book includes an international
representation of authors who have crafted chapters with clarity,
reviewing up-to-date literature with lucid illustrations. It will
be an important resource for researchers, nanobiotechnologists,
agriculturists and horticulturists who need a comprehensive
reference guide.

Biosensors for Emerging and Re-Emerging Infectious Diseases
provides a review of how cornerstone optical, electronic,
nanomaterial and data processing technologies can address detection
issues occurring in a pandemic event. This book gives insights into
the fundamental physical, chemical and biological mechanisms needed
for such a type of detection. The content covers potential
biomarkers which can be used for the infectious disease diagnostic,
helping readers find the appropriate approach for the diagnosis of
infectious diseases. It presents a novel approach to transferring
the sensing platform from lab to application in clinics and to
point of care detection. The book then moves on to discuss the
function and efficiency of the biosensing platform in early
diagnosis of infectious diseases compared to the standard methods.
The required time, the technician skills and the steps which must
be performed are other key factors of the biosensing platform which
are well explained.
