This reference book examines the role of biotechnological innovations in achieving global health targets, addressing disease burdens, and fostering a sustainable healthcare ecosystem for promoting good health and wellbeing. It covers a wide range of topics including the evolution of healthcare technologies, epidemiological approaches in predictive medicine, management of diseases across different organs, emerging technologies in drug development, design, and delivery systems, vaccination strategies; technologies for tackling pandemics; and biotechnological applications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Further, the book discusses different biotechnological advances in geriatri...
Stem Cells and Aging covers what is known about the effect of time and age on the basic units of life, which are the corresponding tissue-specific or adult stem cells. Even though the concept of stem cells was introduced nearly a century ago by Alexander Maximow, modern stem-cell research began in 1963 when James Till, Ernest McCullough and Lou Siminovitch established assays to detect hematopoietic stem cells. In fact, given the importance of the aging-associated diseases, scientists have developed a keen interest in understanding the aging process as they attempt to define the role of dysfunctional stem cells in the aging process. With an aging population worldwide, understanding these age-...
Stem Cells and Signaling Pathways provides mechanistic insights into the role of stem cells to combat the COVID-19 outbreak and other pathologies where a cytokine storm is the cause of concern for e.g., radiation exposure, multiple organ failure and sepsis. The advent of SARS-CoV-2 resulted in a global pandemic, putting individuals with other comorbidities at a higher risk of infection. The whole world witnessed a massive shortage of medical and other essential supplies needed to combat the virus. That said, stem cell therapy has emerged as a potential treatment for viral diseases, including but not limited to COVID-19. Interestingly, the clinical trials in the patients having COVID-19 compl...
Much research has focused on the basic cellular and molecular biological aspects of stem cells. Much of this research has been fueled by their potential for use in regenerative medicine applications, which has in turn spurred growing numbers of translational and clinical studies. However, more work is needed if the potential is to be realized for improvement of the lives and well-being of patients with numerous diseases and conditions. This book series 'Cell Biology and Translational Medicine (CBTMED)' as part of Springer Nature’s longstanding and very successful Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology book series, has the goal to accelerate advances by timely information exchange. Emerging areas of regenerative medicine and translational aspects of stem cells are covered in each volume. Outstanding researchers are recruited to highlight developments and remaining challenges in both the basic research and clinical arenas. This current book is the 18th volume of a continuing series.
Genetic Testing in Breast Cancer: Innovations in Diagnosis and Treatment addresses the urgent need for novel, minimally invasive diagnostic techniques to accurately identify breast cancer early and monitor treatment efficacy, focusing particularly on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This comprehensive volume analyzes the latest research and developments in genetic testing, covering strategies like next-generation sequencing and the Sanger method. It highlights their potential to revolutionize early diagnosis and personalized treatment plans. The book also discusses challenges and opportunities, providing insights into hereditary mutations, genetic counseling, and clinical practice integ...
This reference book compiles together different animal models in cancer research. It provides knowledge and a better understanding of the advancement of the molecular and cellular mechanisms associated with the progression, formation, and clinical results of various types of cancer from the evidence collected from animal models utilized for cancer research. It discusses animal models for screening anti-cancer drugs and exploration of gene therapy. It presents different methods used to construct cancer animal models and the progress of each animal model in tumor research. The book also highlights the applications of genetic engineering, including CRISP/Cas9, in designing and developing animal models for cancer research. Further, it discusses strategies for modeling animals for investigating growth, metastasis, tumor-associated inflammation and microenvironment, cancer stem cells, tumor heterogeneity, and therapeutic resistance. This book is s a valuable resource for basic and translational cancer researchers, clinicians, and health care.
