    • 1st Edition
    • Sushil Sharma
    • English
    The Charnolosome as a Novel Nanothereranostic Biomarker: Overcoming Future Challenges in Medicine provides an overview of the charnolosome and its potential as a biomarker of cell injury. Based on the author’s original discovery of the charnoly body in the developing, undernourished rat cerebellar Purkinje neurons, this book delves into the potential for utilizing this mitochondria and lysosomal-derived intracellular organelle as a nanotheranostic biomarker to prevent and cure various diseases.The book discusses the cellular, molecular, genetic, and epigenetic mechanisms of charnolosomes and charnolosome-derived nano-vesicles. It also investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying auto-inflammatory, autoimmune, and infectious diseases resulting from their compromised mitochondrial bioenergetics, and the potential use of the charnolosome in preventing and curing such conditions.
