The relationship between metabolic dysfunctions and cancer development has been continuously evolving, informed by research efforts in the fields of epidemiology, endocrinology, cancer biology, chemistry, genomics, metabolomics among others. Metabolism and cancer can intersect at the physiological level, where metabolic disorders and cancer malignancies occur as comorbid or mutually-promoting conditions; or at the molecular level, where metabolic alterations regulate tumorigenesis and oncogenic/tumor-suppressive pathways govern the onset of metabolic syndromes. The increasingly complex spider web connecting metabolic dysfunctions and cancer development reveals both distinctive and shared mec...
Seafood and seafood products represent some of the most important foods in almost all types of societies around the world. More intensive production of fish and shellfish to meet high demand has raised some concerns related to the nutritional and sensory qualities of these cultured fish in comparison to their wild-catch counterparts. In addition, the variety in processing, preservation, and storage methods from traditional to modern is contributing to an increase in variability in consumer products. This second edition of the Handbook of Seafood and Seafood Products Analysis brings together the work of 109 experts who focus on the most recent research and development trends in analytical tec...
Design of Nanostructures for Theranostics Applications focuses on the theranostics applications of nanostructures. In particular, multifunctional nanoparticles for diagnostics and treatment of different diseases, including those relating to the blood-brain barrier, are discussed in detail. Chapters explore different type of nanostructures, covering design, fabrication, functionalization and optimization, helping readers obtain the desired properties. Written by a diverse range of international academics, this book is a valuable reference resource for those working in both nanoscience and the pharmaceutical industry. - Explores how the design of a range of nanomaterials make them effective theranostic agents, including multifunctional core-shell nanostructures, mesoporous silica nanoparticles, and quantum dots - Shows how nanomaterials are used effectively for a range of diseases, including breast cancer, prostate cancer and neurological disorders - Assesses the pros and cons of using different nanomaterials for different types of treatment
*** RECOMMENDED AS ONE OF THE TIMES' BEST SCIENCE BOOKS OF 2021 'With all the talk about testosterone in sex, sports and politics, we need a good explanation of the science and its implications, and this one is outstanding.' STEVEN PINKER, bestselling author of The Blank Slate 'There are whole books written about the idea that behavioural sex differences are a societal construct and how a male hormone we know influences animal behaviour somehow doesn't influence us. Hooven's book is a riposte to that silliness - and also a defence of a hormone that isn't just about aggression.' TOM WHIPPLE, THE TIMES, BEST SCIENCE BOOKS OF 2021 'Fascinating, vital, unputdownable.' JULIE BINDEL 'The definitiv...
Emulsions, the third volume of the Nanotechnology in the Food Industry series, is an invaluable resource for anyone in the food industry who needs the most recent information about scientific advances in nanotechnology on this topic. This volume focuses on basic and advanced knowledge about nanoemulsion, and presents an overview of the production methods, materials (solvents, emulsifiers, and functional ingredients), and current analytical techniques that can be used for the identification and characterization of nanoemulsions. The book also discusses the applications of nanoemulsion with special emphasis on systems suitable for utilization within the food industry. This book is useful to a ...
This book provides a current review of the field of biopharmaceutical pharmacology. Biopharmaceuticals are drugs obtained in biotechnological processes using living organisms such as bacteria and fungi. An analysis was performed from biochemical and physiological point of view. This book covers an essential guide to current knowledge and analysis of biopharmaceuticals (Chapter 1-5). The composition of the biopharmaceuticals is provided. In this book we also discuss the historical point of view of the use of archeological botany, medicinal plants, strategies and main advances in communication between the nature and the advances of biopharmacy (Chapter 6-8). This book reports results from experimental and clinical work (Chapter 9). The book includes data regarding the therapy in combination with chemotherapeutic agents.
Nanostructures for Antimicrobial Therapy discusses the pros and cons of the use of nanostructured materials in the prevention and eradication of infections, highlighting the efficient microbicidal effect of nanoparticles against antibiotic-resistant pathogens and biofilms. Conventional antibiotics are becoming ineffective towards microorganisms due to their widespread and often inappropriate use. As a result, the development of antibiotic resistance in microorganisms is increasingly being reported. New approaches are needed to confront the rising issues related to infectious diseases. The merging of biomaterials, such as chitosan, carrageenan, gelatin, poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) with nan...
