Meik Kunz erforscht die Interaktion zwischen den Wachstumshormonen Cytokinin und Auxin und untersucht deren Zusammenspiel im Hinblick auf die pflanzliche Immunabwehr. Der Autor zeigt zudem mittels einer eigens entwickelten Methode die Möglichkeit auf, wie in einer Transkriptom-Interaktom-Analyse zentrale funktionelle Netzwerkknoten (sogenannte Hubproteine) einer Cytokinin-vermittelten Immunabwehr identifiziert werden können. Begleitend wurde eine für den Forschungsalltag zugeschnittene Datenbank...

The applicability of immunotechniques to a wide variety of research problems in many areas of biology and chemistry has expanded dramatically over the last two decades ever since the introduction of monoclonal antibodies and sophisticated immunosorbent techniques. Exquisitely specific antibody molecules provide means of separation, quantitative and qualitative analysis, and localization useful to anyone doing biological or biochemical research. This practical guide to immunotechniques is especia...

Silicon Carbide Biotechnology: A Biocompatible Semiconductor for Advanced Biomedical Devices and Applications, Second Edition, provides the latest information on this wide-band-gap semiconductor material that the body does not reject as a foreign (i.e., not organic) material and its potential to further advance biomedical applications. SiC devices offer high power densities and low energy losses, enabling lighter, more compact, and higher efficiency products for biocompatible and long-term i...

Materials for Bone Disorders is written by a cross-disciplinary team of research scientists, engineers, and clinicians and bridges the gap between materials science and bone disorders, providing integrated coverage of biomaterials and their applications. The bioceramics, biopolymers, composites, and metallic materials used in the treatment of bone disorders are introduced, as are their interactions with cells, biomolecules, and body tissues. The main types of bone disorder and disease are covere...

Clinical Laboratory Blood Banking and Transfusion Medicine: Principles and Practices provides readers with the didactic foundation, background, and tools to successfully function in a typical transfusion medicine laboratory. The text’s teaching and learning package includes an Instructor’s Manual, lecture slides, and test bank. Teaching and Learning Experience: Presents detailed technical information and real-life case studies that help learners envision themselves as members of the health care...

The healthcare industry is starting to adopt digital twins to improve personalized medicine, healthcare organization performance, and new medicine and devices. These digital twins can create useful models based on information from wearable devices, omics, and patient records to connect the dots across processes that span patients, doctors, and healthcare organizations as well as drug and device manufacturers. Digital twins are digital representations of human physiology built on computer models....

This new edition continues a two-decade tradition of widely-used guidance for performing effective audits. Comprehensive in its coverage, this practical guide should prove a valuable tool that offers effective training for new auditors and updates current auditors on new standards and regulations. It helps defuse FDA inspectors frustration in not being able to view audit reports. When combined with a procedure, the checklists demonstrate that comprehensive auditing is part of the quality system.

Blockchain is new-age technology used to track every transaction using cryptocurrency across servers linked in a peer-to-peer network, enabling transactions to be secure, transparent and reliable. Retaining an efficient, secure and patient-centric healthcare industry has never been so important, especially due to the damaging effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The applicability of Blockchain in the healthcare domain can be seen as a remarkable opportunity for researchers and scientists to solve r...

Engineered Nanopores for Bioanalytical Applications is the first book to focus primarily on practical analytical applications of nanopore development. These nanoscale analytical techniques have exciting potential because they can be used in applications such as DNA sequencing, DNA fragment sizing, DNA/protein binding, and protein/protein binding. This book provides a solid professional reference on nanopores for readers in academia, industry and engineering and biomedical fields. In addition,...

Breast cancer is an abnormal growth of cells in the breast, usually in the inner lining of the milk ducts or lobules. It is currently the most common type of cancer in women in developed and developing countries. The number of women affected by breast cancer is gradually increasing and remains as a significant health concern. Researchers are continuously working to develop novel techniques to detect early stages of breast cancer. This book covers breast cancer detection, diagnosis, and treatme...
