"Biological Insights of Multi-Omics Technologies in Human Diseases ́ provides detailed information about the basics of multi-omic technologies including ethics, historical perspective, science, drug discovery, and development and metabolism. With a strong focus on the practical application of omics approaches in cancer, cardiovascular, neurology, respiratory, viral, gastroenterology, autoimmune diseases, PCOS and tuberculosis, this book also includes special topics related to COVID-19 and Machine learning approaches. In 13 chapters this book provides comprehensive coverage of the challenges and opportunities facing the therapeutic implications of multi-omics from academic, regulatory, pharm...
Pharmacogenomics: From Discovery to Clinical Implementation is a complete reference aimed at building a solid foundation of the key concepts in this fast-moving knowledge area. The editors lined up a group of worldwide experts to contribute to the book. Following a consistent chapter structure, the authors cover the foundational aspects of pharmacogenomics in the first four chapters of the book that include basic concepts, drug metabolism, drug discovery and development, and testing. The second part of the book is dedicated to detailed studies of key health conditions and the potential therapeutic applications of pharmacogenomics. Diseases covered include diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, p...
Genetic polymorphisms are important determinants of phenotypic variations and may modulate the risk to or even cause various diseases including genetic disorders and multifactorial diseases. Genetic polymorphisms also serve as important genetic, population and evolutionary markers that allow the study of genetic and evolutionary aspects of individuals, populations and organisms and aid in tracing the evolutionary and parental lineages. Genetic polymorphisms in low penetrance genes are responsible for the alterations in the gene expression of critical signal transduction proteins and metabolic enzymes. Some of these polymorphisms are linked to increased susceptibility to various diseases espe...
This book discusses the role of genetic polymorphism in susceptibility to cancers. The book explores the understanding of differences between the genetic polymorphisms and mutations.It reviews the mechanisms underlying the effect of polymorphism in genes encoding proteins that play an essential role in metabolism, signal transduction, cell cycle, and DNA repair mechanisms. Further, it investigates various techniques that are used for analyzing the genetic polymorphisms. The book contains many chapters which summarize the importance of genetic information obtained from polymorphism-based pharmaco-genetic tests to predict better drug response and life-threatening adverse reactions to chemotherapeutic agents, help in understanding of the impact of SNPs on gene function, and gives overview of the different SNP databases for examination. This book, therefore, serves as an essential guidebook for independent researchers as well as institutions working in this specialised field.

A number of studies have pointed out that currently, medical schools may have failed to supply self-directed lifelong learners and qualified healthcare workers. Therefore, in recent years, the medical teaching modes have been consistently reformed. The new generation of novel education modes such as Research-Based Learning (RBL), Problem-Based Learning PBL), Team-Based Learning (TBL) have the characteristics of universality, interactivity, and promptness, which empower instructors and students to learn and grow together. Moreover, the reform of medical teaching modes has been significantly facilitated in the COVID19 era due to public’s rising awareness of public health and more obviously, pandemic prevention policies such as travel restrictions. For instance, many countries have launched remote teaching mode in order to provide consistent education service with high quality. These novel teaching modes can provide amelioration to the traditional education modes and may lead the education system to another prosperity.
Proteomics: A Promising Approach for Cancer Research provides an updated overview of scientific knowledge, achievements and findings in the field of cancer proteomics.

In addition, it discusses proteomics and phosphor-proteomics in cancer precision medicine; translation of proteomics research into clinical application; and challenges and future developments of the field. This will be a valuable resource for cancer researchers, oncologists, graduate students, an...
Honey typically has a complex chemical and biochemical composition that invariably includes complex sugars, specific proteins, amino acids, phenols, vitamins, and rare minerals. It is reported to be beneficial in the treatment of various diseases, such as those affecting the respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems, as well as diabetes mellitus and certain types of cancers; however, there is limited literature describing the use of honey in modern medicine. This book provides evidence-based information on the pharmaceutical potential of honey along with its therapeutic applications and precise mechanisms of action. It discusses in detail the phytochemistry and pharmacological properties of honey, highlighting the economic and culturally significant medicinal uses of honey and comprehensively reviewing the scientific research on the traditional uses, chemical composition, scientific validation, and general pharmacognostical characteristics. Given its scope, it is a valuable tool for researchers and scientists interested in drug discovery and the chemistry and pharmacology of honey.
