Advances in genomics and combinatorial chemistry during the past two decades inspired innovative technologies and changes in the discovery and pre-clinical development paradigm with the goal of accelerating the process of bringing therapeutic drugs to market. Written by William Kisaalita, one of the foremost experts in this field, 3D Cell-Based Biosensors in Drug Discovery Programs: Microtissue Engineering for High Throughput Screening provides the latest information from theory to practice on challenges and opportunities for incorporating 3D cell-based biosensors or...

This volume explores recent progress in the microelectronics arena, the
resultant miniaturization of component device features to nanometer
size particles, and the ensuing growth in the development and use of
microchip-based techniques in leading laboratories around the world.
While the area of microelectronics is faced with daunting challenges,
it promises fascinating new advances that may translate into products
such as sensors and devices that use nanometer-sized building blocks
for real-world applications. The contributors to this volume are part
of growing...

Molecular diagnostics has evolved rapidly during the past decade and has an impact on the practice of medicine as well as many other applications including drug discovery. This book gives an introduction to nanobiotechnology relevant to molecular diagnostics, a field that has been termed nanodiagnostics. The current state of development of nanodiagnostic technologies including nanobiochips and nanobiosensors is reviewed. Besides important applications in clinical diagnostics, the role of molecular diagnostics in drug discovery is also described.

The book is a useful book for...

L obbiettivo di questo libro e quello di presentare in maniera razionale un nuovo insieme di conoscenze circa il funzionamento cerebrale in merito alle scelte di tipo economico. In particolare si vuole fare colmare una lacuna nella editoria italiana relativa a questi temi, che spesso vengono comunicati in maniera imprecisa e scandalistica dai giornali e dai mass media. Il libro fornisce alcuni strumenti scientifici per affrontare il problema di come il nostro cervello genera delle scelte in campo economico, in un linguaggio piano e non specialistico. Vengono descritti i risultati del primo...

Con il secondo volume di Ingegneria Clinica, l'Autore intende fornire un panorama scientifico-didattico aggiornato dei principi fisici degli ultrasuoni, della tecnologia e degli aspetti realizzativi dell'ecotomografo.

La pubblicazione si articola in 12 capitoli che descrivono gli argomenti di fisica di base, la tecnologia, e le modalita operative per una buona conoscenza del funzionamento degli ecotomografi e contiene piu di 400 illustrazioni a colori originali, immagini tecniche e diagnostiche, fotografie e disegni illustrativi, molte delle quali costruite a partire da sperimentazioni...

There is a section on its use to enhance purification of recombinant proteins. The use of protein engineering to modify the activity or the stability of industrial enzymes from lipases to proteases, from carboxypeptidases to glucanases and glucosidases, and from...
