The emergence and re-emergence of new infectious diseases places emphasis on the need for greater investment in rapid healthcare diagnostic solutions. As a result, lateral flow immunoassay technology is quickly evolving with new inventions. Lateral Flow Assay for Rapid Point-of-Care Testing covers today’s most significant advancements, emerging trends, and future directions linked with this technology. The book begins with a review of the format, flow, and design of old-generation lateral flow assays and the challenges impeding performance before moving into innovation in materials for rapid test strips, advances in manipulating sample flow, and the latest developments in molecular imprinting and bioconjugation techniques. Subsequent sections cover various biorecognition elements and review signal amplification as well as quantification trends. Final chapters delve into recent applications for infectious diseases detection, monitoring antibiotic resistance, multiplex detection of analytes, as well as future directions leading to the next generation of healthcare. Academicians, researchers, industrialists, and device manufacturers linked to the development of rapid and affordable point-of-care immunodiagnostics will find value in this resource.Emphasizes the criticality of developing rapid and affordable diagnostic methods to timely monitor infections and reduce economic burdens on densely populated developing nationHighlights novel approaches in nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, internet, data analytics, and signal acquisition devicesConveys practical insights and solutions for addressing current challenges and limitations in immunoassay technologiesLays the groundwork for future innovations in immunodiagnosticsEnsures content aligns with current needs of both industry and academia

Climate change and population growth have led to a global need for improved crop plants that are resistant/tolerant to climate-induced stresses and provide greater yields. This book comprehensively and coherently reviews the various aspects of "omics" research methods as they apply to crop plant improvement, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, epiomics, ionomics, and interomics. These multiple-omics approaches to crop science have already played an important role in the rapid creation of improved crop plants particularly in rice, wheat, maize, and millets and are set to provide greater advances in the future. The book also describes the various bioinformatics techniques that are utilized as tools for the analysis of omics data. Integrating systems biology with multi-omics datasets that can enhance our understanding of molecular regulatory networks for crop improvement is also covered. This book is essential reading for researchers and graduate students of plant breeding, crop science, molecular biology, and agricultural science.
