Covers new advances in nano cell biology, nano medicine, and imaging modalities
Includes contributions from and is coedited by Prof. Bhanu P. Jena, an international leader in nano cell biology, who in the mid 1990's discovered a new cellular structure the 'porosome' -the universal secretory portal in cells
Beautifully illustrated throughout, for the benefit of the general readership
Summary
This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the discovery of a new cellular structure the "porosome," which is the universal secretory machinery in cells; the protein assembly, biomineralization, and biomolecular interactions; the molecular evolution of protein structure; the use of magnetic nanoparticles for transformative application in medicine and therapy, and the new and novel imaging approach of electrical impedance spectroscopy in biology. It be used for college courses in nanomedicine, nano cell biology, advanced nanotechnology, and biotechnology at the undergraduate and graduate level.
