About this book
This new volume covers some of the most important and latest research trends and applications in modern biotechnology, with special attention on how modern biotechnology advances human healthcare. These ground-breaking technologies hold tremendous potential in the development of new tools and techniques that can in turn be used in the synthesis and production of novel biological entities with a potential to improve disease diagnostics in general and healthcare facilities in particular.
The chapters in the book explore
- microRNAs as next-generation therapeutic and diagnostic agents
- applications of CRISPR-Cas-based diagnostics
- CRISPR-Cas as a genome-editing tool
- engineered gut microbiomes for treating diseases
- antibiotics and plant-derived antimicrobials for healthcare
- stem cell technology and regenerative medicine
- and more
Taking multidisciplinary perspective on these state-of-the-art biotechnologies, this volume provides a valuable overview for professionals, researchers, faculty, and students in many areas of biotechnology, medical science, and other health related areas.
