In the field of medicinal biotechnology three major developments have caused a revolution in research that has a lot of innovative effects on clinical medicine and future applications on humans. With the availability of tailored recombinant proteins and the opportunity to produce high amounts of monoclonal antibodies new diagnostic applications have emerged and many therapeutic perspectives, e.g. in the treatment of multiple sclerosis and of cancer, are being discussed today. The aim of somatic gene therapy is to re-establish normal cell function by supplying the cells with the respective intact gene. This is a very difficult task and different diseases, e.g. AIDS and several metabolic disorders, are under investigation now. So far first promising approaches exist in cancer therapy. Moreover the book informs about regulatory and economic aspects of these new methods and their applications.

Free Download Molecularly Imprinted Polymers as Artificial Antibodies for the Environmental Health: A Step Towards Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by Santanu Patra, Mika Sillanpaa
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 415 Pages | ISBN : 3031589947 | 61.5 MB
This book covers the fundamental principles of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and their synthesis methodologies, offering readers a solid understanding of these unique materials. It delves into the design and selection of template molecules for imprinting, as well as polymerization techniques and strategies for optimizing MIP performance. With a focus on real-world applications, the book showcases the wide range of environmental health problems that MIPs can address. It discusses the detection and quantification of pollutants in air, water, and soil using MIP-based sensors and biosensors. Additionally, it explores the use of MIPs in environmental remediation, such as the adsorption and removal of contaminants, as well as the development of MIP-based materials for water and soil treatment. The book also highlights the analytical applications of MIPs in environmental health, including separation and purification techniques, sample preparation, and preconcentration methods. It examines how MIPs can be integrated into analytical instrumentation and detection systems to enhance environmental analysis. By bringing together interdisciplinary knowledge from the fields of environmental science, chemistry, polymer science, analytical chemistry, and environmental engineering, this book provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the potential of MIPs as artificial antibodies for environmental health. With its emphasis on real-world applications and case studies, it offers practical insights that researchers, academics, and professionals can apply in environmental monitoring, remediation, and analysis projects.
