Point-of-Care Technology for Portable Testing Devices: Nanomaterials-Based Optical Biosensors for Cardiovascular Disease Biomarkers presents the latest advances in nanomaterials-based optical biosensor-enabled point-of-care testing (PoCT) devices for the rapid and accurate detection of cardiovascular disease (CVD) biomarkers. This book begins with the introduction of novel cardiovascular biomarkers and advances in point-of-care diagnostics. Subsequent chapters focus on the selection of bioreceptors and the overview of optical nanomaterials for nanobiosensors applications.A major focus is targeted on colorimetric detection, fluorescence, chemiluminescence, Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance, and Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering-based optical nanobiosensor signaling readout techniques, which enable the detection of CVD biomarkers. Furthermore, this book explores emerging healthcare technologies for next-generation portable PoCT devices and recent advances in nanobiosensor techniques for the rapid detection of CVD biomarkers. One dedicated chapter explores the role of artificial intelligence in enhancing point-of-care diagnostics for CVDs, while another addresses critical regulatory challenges and safety considerations in translating nanomaterial-based biosensors into clinical practice.

Chromatin Signaling and Diseases, Second Edition, a volume in the Translational Epigenetics series, covers the molecular mechanisms that regulate gene expression, which governs embryonic development, growth, and human pathologies associated with aging, such as cancer. Although human genome sequencing continues to improve, molecular mechanisms regulating gene expression remain largely misunderstood. The impact of gene expression defects associated with malfunctioning chromatin signaling are considered in this update. In addition, this new edition has addresses developments in the field, from phase separation of membrane-less organelles and local segregation of factors to chromatinization of naked foreign DNA and cancer evolution as regulated by chromatin signaling.Chromatin signaling proposes that small protein domains recognize chemical modifications on the genome scaffolding histone proteins, facilitating the nucleation of enzymatic complexes at specific loci that then open up or shut down the access to genetic information, thereby regulating gene expression. The addition and removal of chemical modifications on histones, as well as the proteins that specifically recognize these are also considered.
