Explore the biochemical processes of blood function and disorders. This guide explains oxygen transport, immune defence, and diseases like anaemia and leukaemia. Its translational focus connects fundamental biochemistry to clinical practice, diagnostics, and precision medicine.
This book is an insightful guide to the dynamic biochemical processes that govern blood’s function and disorders. It explores the molecular structure of blood components – red and white blood cells, platelets, plasma proteins, and clotting factors, and how they interact to maintain balance and respond to challenges. Designed for students, educators, researchers, and healthcare professionals, it explains key biochemical mechanisms behind oxygen transport, immune defence, haemostasis, and inflammation. The book also examines pathological changes in anaemia, haemophilia, leukaemia, sepsis, and clotting disorders, highlighting molecular triggers and pathways. A unique strength is its translational focus, connecting fundamental biochemistry to clinical practice, diagnostics, and therapies. Chapters on blood-based biomarkers, targeted treatments, and the biochemical impact of diseases like COVID-19 offer a modern perspective on haematology research. Written in an engaging style, this book helps readers appreciate blood’s complexity and its vital role in precision medicine and personalised healthcare.
The use of glycated haemoglobin was a major step in antidiabetic treatment and led to the identification of cell receptors. The aim of this study is to explore how one such cell receptor, RAGE, offers new therapeutic possibilities for diabetes, ageing, and Alzheimer’s disease.
This book summarizes 50 years’ work on dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNIC). After the discovery of nitrogen monoxide (NO) as a universal regulator in organisms, interest in DNIC grew. By donating NO, DNIC mimic its beneficial and detrimental effects and are its “working” form.
This book proposes that the physiological motif of plastocyanin dimorphism is a hallmark of higher plants. It also serves as a methodological guide to photosynthesis, offering various methods for the study of proteins.
This book explains recent scientific discoveries on calcium storage in cells and their link to Alzheimer’s. It presents unprecedented information on the disease process and introduces a new therapeutic ready for clinical trials, benefiting patients, families, and researchers.
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) delivers toxins to cancer cells for targeted chemotherapy. More importantly, AFP+toxin harnesses the patient’s immune system to attack cancer by depleting suppressor cells, activating a natural immune response with promising results in patients.
New-Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) is among the most worrying bacterial resistance markers. This book displays a full picture of NDM, tracking it from its discovery to its global spread, and highlighting the mutations that give it stability and enable fast transfer.
This is the first comprehensive monograph to systematically describe the blood biochemistry of pigs. Based on modern data and research methods, this book is recommended for researchers, students, and specialists in the fields of animal biology and livestock farming.
