Learn about the cutting-edge nanotechnologies which play an important role in clinical and medical therapies Nucleic acids, the biomolecules which carry most of nature's critical genetic information, are an omnipresent component of life on earth. Nanomaterials incorporating or otherwise built around nucleic acids and their key properties have a number of clinical and medical applications, including drug delivery and more. Biomaterials scientists and other professionals in these fields can benefit enormously from increased knowledge of these invaluable materials. Nucleic Acid-Based Nanomaterials supplies a thorough, rigorous overview of these materials and their possible applications. Beginning with an introduction to the history of nanomaterials and their nucleic-acid-based subcategories, the book offers a detailed and state-of-the-art survey of the current research into these molecules, efforts to increase their biostability, and their incorporation into a range of industries. The result is an essential contribution to materials science in a variety of life-saving contexts. Nucleic Acid-Based Nanomaterials readers will also find: Application-oriented structure which grounds general concepts in their specific instantiations Detailed discussion of applications including drug delivery, tissue engineering, antimicrobial therapy, and more A rigorous yet accessible approach suitable for both academia and industry Nucleic Acid-Based Nanomaterials is ideal for chemists of all types, particularly biochemists and medical chemists, and those in industry.

And in the beginning from a single source in space mass, space, time and energy concentrated exploding creating many universes. The non-life matter took many forms, our sun, and planet Earth. Events on earths volcanic past gave way over billions of years to organic micro-molecules from Earth's stratum amino acid by natural selection. Life system events evolved with larger micro-organisms, creatures, animals, mammals, and primates. A specialized ape diverted from the Primate australopithecus. This primate is our link to Man.

Presenting the expertise and protocols of the renowned Breast Diagnostic Center at USC School of Medicines Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, this user-friendly reference for the primary care physician details the management of both benign and malignant breast diseases. An important section on consultation and referrals reviews the roles of the radiologist, oncologist, and surgeon and provides the primary care physician with the information necessary to counsel the patient on the myriad aspects of multidisciplinary treatment planning. The text includes more than 100 illustrations and algorithms, as well as "Practice Guides" which organise the key practice points, signs, and symptoms. A must-have handbook for all providers of health care to women.

Aptamers, often termed as ‘chemical antibodies,’ are an emerging class of synthetic ligands for efficient target-specific molecular recognition. The objective of this book is to highlight recent advances and potential of aptamers in various disease conditions. . This book focuses on the applications of aptamers in targeted nanotherapy, detection, and in molecular imaging in various disease conditions such as cancer, neurological diseases and infectious diseases.

Nature has long used nucleic acid aptamers and enzymes for regulatory activities, such as the recently discovered “riboswitches” involved in gene expression. The existence of a large array of natural and artificial functional nucleic acids has generated tremendous enthusiasm and new opportunities for molecular scientists from diverse disciplines to devise new concepts and real applications that take advantage of those nucleic acids for sensing and other analytical applications. This book provides a timely and comprehensive overview of recent advances in the field, from leading experts in biology, chemistry, and engineering. A variety of topics are covered, from fundamentals of functional nucleic acids, to their applications as sensors, to nanotechnologies; as well as integration of functional nucleic acids into practical analytical systems.
