This book offers a comprehensive exploration of malaria, a life-threatening disease affecting millions globally, with a focus on the parasitic organisms of the genus Plasmodium that cause it. It discusses the challenges posed by the disease, especially in economically developing regions, and delves into the biology and pathophysiology of the Plasmodium species, including their genetic flexibility and resistance to treatments. Special attention is given to P. falciparum, the most dangerous of these parasites, detailing its complex life cycle, interaction with human hosts, and the severe...

In many parts of the world, soil and water are slightly to moderately contaminated with metals and metalloids such as Cd, Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Cr, Pb, Si, B and As. This could be due to long-term use of phosphatic fertilizers, sewage sludge application, dust from smelters, industrial waste and bad watering practices in agricultural lands. Beside natural factors, human activities have contributed to the enormous increase in heavy metal and/or metalloid pollution in the environment. Metal and metalloid stress are major abiotic stress factors that limit crop production and reduce agricultural...

The book explores the intersection of nanotechnology and allergic airway diseases. With a focus on diagnosis and management, each chapter delves into specific areas of interest. Beginning with an introduction to the diseases, the book progresses to uncover the pathophysiology and immunology underlying allergic airway diseases. The epidemiology chapter provides insights into the prevalence and impact of these conditions. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to nanotechnology applications, with chapters on metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, nanomicelles, carbon nanotubes,...

This detailed volume explores a wide range of experimental and bioinformatic proteomics methods applicable to the drug discovery process. Focused on drug target discovery, validation, characterization, and quantitation, the book delves into bottom-up data-dependent (DDA) shotgun and data-independent acquisition (DIA) proteomics, cell surface proteomics, proteogenomics, chemoproteomics, methodologies focused on posttranslational modifications, single cell proteomics, 3D cell culture proteomics, organoids, and laser capture microdissection (LCM) assisted tissue proteogenomics. Advanced...
