Three Daughters Three Journeys Quest for Cancer Cure

Three Daughters Three Journeys Quest for Cancer Cure

Cancer threatens the lives of people around the world. Women in particular are at risk of certain cancers with a genetic cause. Certain mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes put mothers and daughters at risk of breast and ovarian cancers. Unlike many cancers that most commonly occur after age 60 these inheritable cancers threaten women’s lives health and fertility even when they are young before most would even begin to go for annual mammogram screenings to check for breast cancer. Three Daughters Three Journeys takes on the biggest health issue of our time from a global perspective with three heroines fighting for their lives against cancer. Marzena a Polish oncology nurse has spent her life treating child patients with cancer. Then she confronts it in her own family and her own body. Kamola a rural Indian girl knows she has symptoms of the same disease that took her mother but feels afraid to discuss it with her father and brothers knowing her family cannot afford medical treatment. Kamola confides in Dr Rini Mishra a doctor testing a new treatment called Neelazin using a bacterial anticancer protein in food to destroy cancer cells. Selena a wealthy woman of color in Chicago finds out about her genetic risks of breast and ovarian cancer. She has a choice of preventative surgery that will save her life but remove any chance of having children. As she meets women who struggle to afford cancer treatment Selena dedicates her life to providing affordable homes and counseling to families affected by the disease. Although the drug Neelazin is fictional the possibility of new cancer treatments using bacterial anticancer proteins is being researched now. A problem with the current chemotherapy for cancer treatment is the high toxicity of most of these drugs as these drugs can enter both normal and cancer cells though preferably cancer cells causing the death of normal cells as well that are important in maintaining health. Another problem is that current chemotherapeutic drugs mostly target a single or few key steps that are important for cancer growth and proliferation and inhibit the growth of cancer cells. The cancer cells respond by quickly changing these single targets thereby becoming resistant to the drugs as is reflected in stage IV cancer patients. An alternative to chemotherapy would be to exploit the bacterial evolutionary wisdom and use certain proteins that can have preferential entry to cancer cells in order to minimize normal cell toxicity and multiple targets in cancer cells through protein–protein complex formation thus reducing resistance development in cancer cells. An interesting advantage of protein drugs is to express them as part of food and some recent research seems to suggest that oral consumption of such foods may allow the therapeutic protein to reach the blood stream to target the cancer. Women with the genetic risk factors could soon have the choice of taking a pill or such anticancer protein-expressing food to treat or prevent cancer rather than removing the healthy tissue of the breasts and ovaries. Hopefully they would not have to choose between fertility and survival as is the implied message in this book fictional as it is at this time. | Three Daughters Three Journeys Quest for Cancer Cure

Mobile Microspies Particles for Sensing and Communication

Mobile Microspies Particles for Sensing and Communication

On the one hand particle-based sensing techniques are driven by new technologies for preparing and measuring micro- and nanoparticles and by a fascination of the possibilities for design and functionalization of all specificities in structure shapes and behavior of these tiny objects. On the other hand there evolves a fast-growing need for new sensing and communication paths for medicine biotechnology and analytical science as well as for new and efficient information transfer and storage systems. No longer are particles regarded only as special types of materials. However we have a better understanding of how they are bridging the gap between material and system between structure and function. Although there are numerous books on micro- and nanoparticles and on sensors there is to the best of my knowledge no book focusing on the general concept of particles as mobile microtransducers. This book clarifies that signal-transducing particles should be regarded as functional elements as part of a system not simply as special materials. It introduces concepts of bead-base sensing and mobile spies at the micro- and nanoscale and gives a representative overview of the variety of particle-based sensing. The state of the art in the development of particles as mobile spies for communication and information management allows us to speculate about future particle-based components and systems in a completely sustainable world economy. In addition the book reports on a fast-evolving technical field which is a typical example of the required convergence of technical strategies and mechanisms in living nature and would make a great reference for professionals and students of chemistry biochemistry biology pharmacy medicine agriculture mechatronics informatics materials science and systems engineering. | Mobile Microspies Particles for Sensing and Communication

Plasma Applications for Material Modification From Microelectronics to Biological Materials

Plasma Applications for Material Modification From Microelectronics to Biological Materials

This book is an up-to-date review of the most important plasma-based techniques for material modification from microelectronics to biological materials and from fusion plasmas to atmospheric ones. Each its technical chapters is written by long-experienced internationally recognised researchers. The book provides a deep and comprehensive insight into plasma technology and its associated elemental processes and is illustrated throughout with excellent figures and references to complement each section. Although some of the topics covered can be traced back several decades care has been taken to emphasize the most recent findings and expected evolution. The first time the word ‘plasma’ appeared in print in a scientific text related to the study of electrical discharges in gases was 1928 when Irving Langmuir published his article ‘Oscillations in Ionized Gases’. It was the baptism of the predominant state of matter in the known universe (it is estimated that up to 99% of matter is plasma) although not on earth where the conditions of pressure and temperature make normal the states of matter (solid liquid gas) which in global terms are exotic. It is enough to add energy to a solid (in the form of heat or electromagnetic radiation) to go into the liquid state from which gas is obtained through an additional supply of energy. If we continue adding energy to the gas we will partially or totally ionise it and reach a new state of matter plasma made up of free electrons atoms and molecules (electrically neutral particles) and ions (endowed with a positive or a negative electric charge). | Plasma Applications for Material Modification From Microelectronics to Biological Materials
