    • Volume 208
    • English
    CRISPR-Cas-Based Genome Editing for Treating Human Diseases-Part A, Volume 208 represents CRISPR-Cas systems for genome editing. Currently, CRISPR-Cas systems are proven a key technology for targeted genome editing, which is acting as a simple, rapid, and cost-effective solution. CRISPR-Cas9 system is being used in microbial genome editing, mammalian genome editing, disease models, and more. It has shown potential in human disease treatment. However, it is not easy to find CRISPR-Cas systems genome editing in a single source.This volume offers CRISPR-Cas systems for human diseases, bacterial disease, gut microbiome editing, viral disease, protozoan disease, fungal disease, stem cell therapy, CRISPR in epigenetics, CRISPR in cancer, autoimmune and blood disorders. In addition, it highlights a number of aspects of the CRISPR-Cas systems that can help the basic understanding of students, researchers, clinicians, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders to perform their research with great interest.

  • Handbook of Neural Engineering

    A Modern Approach
    • 1st Edition
    • Stephanie Willerth
    • English
    Handbook of Neural Engineering: A Modern Approach provides a comprehensive overview of the field from biology to recent technological advances through an interdisciplinary lens. The book is divided into three sections: 1) Biological Considerations for Neural Engineering, 2) Neural Engineering Strategies, and 3) Emerging Technologies for Neural Engineering. It provides the first comprehensive text that addresses this combination of subjects. Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis, represent an enormous healthcare burden, and many of these diseases lack true cures, making it imperative to study the biological systems that become disordered to understand potential treatment options.This book covers the basic neurobiology and physiology, common neural engineering strategies, and emerging technologies in this field. It is designed to support an upper year/graduate elective course in neural engineering, and will provide a foundational overview of the field for interdisciplinary researchers, clinicians, engineers, and industry professionals. The handbook provides readers with a strong base in both biological and engineering principles along with the concepts necessary to implement solutions using Neural Engineering.

  • Myopathies and Tendinopathies of the Diabetic Foot

    Anatomy, Pathomechanics, and Imaging
    • 1st Edition
    • Claude Pierre-Jerome
    • English
    Myopathies and Tendinopathies of the Diabetic Foot: Anatomy, Pathomechanics, and Imaging is a unique reference of valuable instructive data that reinforces the understanding of myopathies and tendinopathies related to diabetes-induced Charcot foot. Diabetic myopathies usually precede other complications (i.e., deformity, ulceration, infection) seen in the diabetic foot. Oftentimes, these myopathies may be isolated especially during their initial stage. In the absence of clinical information relevant to diabetes, the solitaire occurrence of myopathies may lead to confusion, misinterpretation, and misdiagnosis. The misdiagnosis can cause delay of management and consequent high morbidity. This book emphasizes the complications of diabetic myopathies and tendinopathies and all their aspects, including pathophysiology, pathomechanics, imaging protocols, radiological manifestations, histological characteristics, and surgical management.Diabetes type II and its complications (diabetic myopathies and tendinopathies) have reached a dreadful high incidence worldwide. Likewise, the need for better understanding of these complications becomes indispensable. In this book, the readers of all genres will find all they need to know about these conditions. This book serves as a classic academic reference for educators, healthcare specialists, healthcare givers, and healthcare students.
