Smart Diagnostics for Neurodegenerative Disorders: Neuro-sensors
explores all available biosensor-based approaches and technologies
as well as their use in the diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic
management of a variety of neurological disorders such as
Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and epileptic disorders. The book also
discusses contemporary and revolutionary biosensor platforms that
are being used to produce a quantitative quick lab-on-a-chip
point-of-care (POC) assay for several types of predictive and
diagnostic biomarkers linked with neurodegenerative disorders. It
offers a combinatorial strategy for learning recent advances and
designing new biosensor-based technologies in the fields of medical
science, engineering and biomedical technology. Early detection of
neurological conditions has the potential to treat the disease and
extend the life expectancy of patients. Recent improvements in
biosensor-based approaches that target specific cell surface
biomarkers can be used for early detection of neurodegenerative
disease.
Advanced Biosensors for Virus Detection: Smart Diagnostics to
Combat Against the SARS-CoV2 Pandemic covers the development of
biosensor-based approaches for the diagnosis and prognosis of viral
infections, specifically coronaviruses. The book discusses
wide-ranging topics of available biosensor-based technologies and
their application for early viral detection. Sections cover the
emergence of SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV2, the global health
response, the impact on affected populations, state-of-the art
biomarkers, and risk factors. Specific focus is given to COVID-19,
with coverage of genomic profiling, strain variation and the
pathogenesis of SARS-CoV2. In addition, current therapeutics,
nano-abled advancements and challenges in the detection of
SARS-CoV2 and COVID-19 management are discussed, along with the
role of nanomaterials in the development of biosensors and how
biosensors can be scaled up for clinical applications and
commercialization.
Computational Approaches for Novel Therapeutic and Diagnostic
Designing to Mitigate SARS-CoV2 Infection: Revolutionary Strategies
to Combat Pandemics compiles information about various
computational bioinformatic approaches that can help combat viral
infection. The book includes working knowledge of various molecular
docking and molecular dynamic simulation approaches that have been
exploited for drug repurposing and drug designing purpose. In
addition, it sheds light on reverse vaccinomics and
immunoinformatic approaches for vaccine designing against SARS-CoV2
infection. This book is an essential resource for researchers,
bioinformaticians, computational biologists, computational chemists
and pharmaceutical companies who are working on the development of
effective and specific therapeutic interventions and point-of-care
diagnostic devices using various computational approaches.
Early diagnosis of cancer and other non-oncological disorders gives
a significant advantage for curing the disease and improving
patient's life expectancy. Recent advances in biosensor-based
techniques which are designed for specific biomarkers can be
exploited for early diagnosis of diseases. Biosensor Based Advanced
Cancer Diagnostics covers all available biosensor-based approaches
and comprehensive technologies; along with their application in
diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic management of various
oncological disorders. Besides this, current challenges and future
aspects of these diagnostic approaches have also been discussed.
This book offers a view of recent advances and is also helpful for
designing new biosensor-based technologies in the field of medical
science, engineering and biomedical technology. Biosensor Based
Advanced Cancer Diagnostics helps biomedical engineers,
researchers, molecular biologists, oncologists and clinicians with
the development of point of care devices for disease diagnostics
and prognostics. It also provides information on developing user
friendly, sensitive, stable, accurate, low cost and minimally
invasive modalities which can be adopted from lab to clinics. This
book covers in-depth knowledge of disease biomarkers that can be
exploited for designing and development of a range of biosensors.
The editors have summarized the potential cancer biomarkers and
methodology for their detection, plus transferring the developed
system to clinical application by miniaturization and required
integration with microfluidic systems.
