關於本電子書

Medicinal Biotechnology: Methods and Applications covers a wide range of topics from traditional herbal medicine to recent plant and animal biotechnology approaches used for the production of vaccines, hormones, enzymes, edible medicinal products, herbal therapeutics, and other secondary metabolites. The book opens with a historical perspective of medicinal biotechnology which includes a discussion of successive development in the field of medicine, starting from early civilization up to current and advanced approaches and strategies.The book also provides a wide range of topics that include: a discussion engineering approaches in medicinal biotechnology, metabolomics, extraction of metabolites, personalization approaches, and strategies for the effective use of medicinal product and drugs; explanation of engineering approaches in medicinal biotechnology, metabolomics, extraction of metabolites, personalization approaches, and strategies for the effective use of medicinal product and drug; and coverage of specific knowledge on the production and use in vaccines, antibodies, and hormones. - Provides a discussion of the traditional medicine system and the role of herbs - Discusses plant and animal tissues culture/engineering approaches used to produce medicinal products such as vaccines, antibiotics, and hormones - Highlights the discussion of topics related to DNA profiling, genome editing, synthetic biology, bioprospecting, metabolomics, personalized medicine, and intellectual property rights in relation to the medicinal product - Emphasizes the therapeutic potential of edible plant products and herbal therapeutics for chronic disease management
