The book begins by introducing the fundamental principles and design of biosensors, including the critical role of enzymes, antibodies, and nucleic acids in target molecule recognition. It then progresses to discuss how biological interactions are translated into measurable signals. Highlighting the evolution of biosensors from early enzyme-based models to today's nanomaterial-enhanced devices, the book emphasizes the potential for personalized medicine and proactive healthcare management. It also considers the ethical and social implications of these technologies.

The book progresses through chapters that delve into specific applications like glucose monitoring, cardiac marker detection, and cancer biomarker detection. It concludes by addressing the challenges and opportunities facing the future of biosensor technology, such as improving biocompatibility and cost-effectiveness. This book uniquely focuses on the practical aspects of bringing biosensor technology from the lab to clinical use, addressing validation, regulation, and manufacturing hurdles.

Bizarre Laws & Curious Customs...

Monty Lord

In the UK, we have some bizarre laws that have littered the statute books of our sceptred isle throughout history. Not all of them have been repealed over the centuries. Some of them made perfect sense at the time they were introduced but seen through modern eyes, now appear archaic and draconian. Despite the great efforts of the Law Commission in England and Wales to review and recommend reforms for many of these outdated laws, there are centuries of law that must be painstakingly gone through.
As well as some bizarre laws, the UK also has its fair share of curious customs and time-honoured traditions that have been observed for centuries. On the surface, many appear to be nothing more than theatrical pomp and pageantry. However, they are all born from strong rationale.
The UK parliament seems to have had a particular penchant for passing laws related to fish and animals, indecency and passing sentences with some humiliating public punishments.
This book is a highly entertaining read for anyone who enjoys learning about the more bizarre applications of UK law throughout the centuries, along with some rather macabre consequences along the way.
Have you ever heard a bizarre law and thought, that can’t possibly be true? Is it genuine? Was it ever in existence or just an urban myth that became so embellished over time? There are surprisingly, a great many laws still in existence on the statute books today, that would make your jaw drop. Whilst bizarre as these laws may now seem to us, it begs the question, are we in fact, unknowingly breaking these laws on a regular basis?
With over 160 bizarre but nevertheless true, laws and customs, you can use this book to satisfy your curiosity about what our ancestors had to contend with over the years, or perhaps as a reference guide for trivia quizzes.

Cannabis in Pathologies of the...

Pharmacology University

Welcome to explore the wonderful world of cannabis in the pathologies of the central nervous system!
The nervous system is a complex of specialized structures, consisting of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, which control and regulate the functioning of the various organs and systems, organize their interrelationship, and the relationship of the organism with the external environment.
The basic unit of the nervous system is the nerve cell known as the neuron and its numerous branching fibers called dendrites. The human brain has approximately 100 billion neurons.
There is evidence of cannabinoids' therapeutic applications throughout history. Ancient Chinese culture noted the cannabis plant's benefits for various ailments; centuries later, the Arabs promoted its use in numerous medical treatises. At that time, they had no idea how the plant's substances exerted their effect. But, facts proved significant improvements when treating various symptoms and pathologies. Thanks to the constant advances in contemporary medicine, the mechanisms by which these substances exert their function are increasingly better understood.
Interest in the biological properties of cannabis increased significantly in the early 1990s with the discovery of specific receptors for its components in the Central Nervous System. To this day, cannabinoid receptors are known as CB1 and CB2. They are in the neuronal cell membrane, particularly in the presynaptic terminals, and are part of the family of G-protein-coupled receptors. They are linked to potassium channel activation and calcium channel inhibition.
This audiobook will explore in more detail how cannabinoids may serve as potential neuroprotective agents. Especially in different neurodegenerative diseases such as cerebral ischemia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and ALS. All thanks to their ability to control oxidative stress, inflammation, and excitotoxicity present in them.
