Natural Biomarkers for Cellular Metabolism (eBook, PDF)

Biology, Techniques, and Applications
Redaktion: Ghukasyan, Vladimir V.; Heikal, Ahmed A.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This guide covers the current state of knowledge on intrinsic fluorescent biomarkers and highlights advances in using these biomarkers for the metabolic mapping and clinical diagnosis of healthy and diseased cells and tissues. The book's first section introduces the fundamentals of cellular energy metabolic pathways as well as natural biomarkers within the context of their biological functions. The second section outlines the theoretical and technical background of quantitative, noninvasive, autofluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy methods. The last two sections explore applications in biochemistry, cell biology, and medicine.
