A Master Regulator of Oxidative StressThe Transcription Factor Nrf2
Due to that at present, the majority of diseases are associated with alterations in oxidative stress and inflammatory processes, and in that Nrf-2 is a modulator of these processes; knowing how this transcriptional factor functions and is regulated opens a therapeutic window to diverse diseases. Therefore, the efforts of various investigation groups are centered on finding activators and/or inhibitors of Nrf-2 to prevent or control diverse diseases, for example, cancer, where it would be important to regulate Nrf-2 in order for it to activate apoptosis pathways in cancerogenous cells, or in neurodegenerative diseases where cell death is predominant, it would be important for Nrf-2 to activate antiapoptotic pathways.
The Role of NRF2 Transcription Factor
The regulation of the transcription factor NRF2 opens a therapeutic window for a host of chronic degenerative diseases, such as diabetes and its complications, cancer, obesity, neurodegenerative diseases, kidney diseases, immunological diseases, and so on. The ability to regulate cytoprotective functions such as antioxidant defenses or pro-apoptotic or anti-apoptotic functions is of utmost importance. Currently, there are therapeutic agents to activate or inhibit NRF2; research should focus on understanding how NRF2 makes “the decision” to perform one function or another.
Functional Foods
The phytochemicals present in functional foods play a vital role in boosting immunity and promoting health. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the importance of functional foods and antioxidants and their scavenging activity for preventing various health-related disorders. This book also covers the therapeutic and medicinal potential of various bioactive compounds for a healthy lifestyle, as well as examines different products containing functional ingredients that demonstrate health-promoting potential.
Aflatoxins
This book is divided into three sections. The section called Aflatoxin Contamination discusses the importance that this subject has for a country like the case of China and mentions examples that illustrate the ubiquity of aflatoxins in various commodities The section Measurement and Analysis, describes the concept of measurement and analysis of aflatoxins from a historical prespective, the legal, and the state of the art in methodologies and techniques. Finally the section entitled Approaches for Prevention and Control of Aflatoxins on Crops and on Different Foods, describes actions to prevent and mitigate the genotoxic effect of one of the most conspicuous aflatoxins, AFB1. In turn, it points out interventions to reduce identified aflatoxin-induced illness at agricultural, dietary and strategies that can control aflatoxin. Besides the preventive management, several approaches have been employed, including physical, chemical biological treatments and solvent extraction to detoxify AF in contaminated feeds and feedstuffs.
Atzala de la Asunción
Este libro está elaborado de forma interdisciplinaria mediante el trabajo conjunto y el diálogo de diversos autores de distintos campos de la antropología física y especialistas de otras disciplinas. Contiene cinco apartados temáticos que reflejan los intereses de las y los investigadores y de los pobladores mismo: Panorama sociodemográfico y ecológico, Condiciones de vida y salud, Ser mujeres y hombres en Atzala, Medicina tradicional, Religión festividad y patrimonio.
Oxidative Stress and Chronic Degenerative Diseases
This work responds to the need to find, in a sole document, the affect of oxidative stress at different levels, as well as treatment with antioxidants to revert and diminish the damage. Oxidative Stress and Chronic Degenerative Diseases - a Role for Antioxidants is written for health professionals by researchers at diverse educative institutions (Mexico, Brazil, USA, Spain, Australia, and Slovenia). I would like to underscore that of the 19 chapters, 14 are by Mexican researchers, which demonstrates the commitment of Mexican institutions to academic life and to the prevention and treatment of chronic degenerative diseases.
Biosensors – Recent Advances and Future Challenges
The present book is devoted to all aspects of biosensing in a very broad definition, including, but not limited to, biomolecular composition used in biosensors (e.g., biocatalytic enzymes, DNAzymes, abiotic nanospecies with biocatalytic features, bioreceptors, DNA/RNA, aptasensors, etc.), physical signal transduction mechanisms (e.g., electrochemical, optical, magnetic, etc.), engineering of different biosensing platforms, operation of biosensors in vitro and in vivo (implantable or wearable devices), self-powered biosensors, etc. The biosensors can be represented with analogue devices measuring concentrations of analytes and binary devices operating in the YES/NO format, possibly with logical processing of input signals. Furthermore, the book is aimed at attracting young scientists and introducing them to the field, while providing newcomers with an enormous collection of literature references.
Pattern Recognition
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th Mexican Conference on Pattern Recognition, MCPR 2022, which was held in planned to be held Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, in June 2022. The 33 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 66 submissions. They are organized in the following topical sections: pattern recognition techniques; neural networks and deep learning; image and signal processing and analysis; natural language processing and recognition; robotics and remote sensing applications of pattern recognition; medical applications of pattern recognition.
Biofilms in Bioelectrochemical Systems
This book serves as a manual of research techniques for electrochemically active biofilm research. Using examples from real biofilm research to illustrate the techniques used for electrochemically active biofilms, this book is of most use to researchers and educators studying microbial fuel cell and bioelectrochemical systems. The book emphasizes the theoretical principles of bioelectrochemistry, experimental procedures and tools useful in quantifying electron transfer processes in biofilms, and mathematical modeling of electron transfer in biofilms. It is divided into three sections: Biofilms: Microbiology and microbioelectrochemistry - Focuses on the microbiologic aspect of electrochemical...
