Introduces readers to the growing applications of nutraceuticals and other natural product derivativesThis comprehensive book presents a prophylactic and therapeutic approach to chronic disease prevention strategy by highlighting the translational potential of plant-derived dietary and non-dietary factors from epidemiological, laboratory, and clinical studies. It also shares the experiences of highly reputed experts working in the area of phytomedicine and nutraceutical agents in chemoprevention, to promote the significance of natural products and dietary factors as an elite priority for containing chronic diseases in the human population.Nutraceuticals and Natural Product Derivatives: Disease Prevention & Drug Discovery starts by examining natural food sources for the control of glycemia and the prevention of diabetic complications. It then looks at the anti-aging effects of sulfur-containing amino acids and nutraceuticals, and the potential of garcinia fruits to combat metabolic syndrome. Other topics covered include honey- and propolis-mediated regulation of protein networks in cancer cells; recent trends in drug discovery against Alzheimer’s disease; the therapeutic potential of metalloherbal nanoceuticals; and much more. Offers an alternative, natural approach to the prevention of chronic diseasesEmphasizes the potential of plant-derived dietary and non-dietary factors from epidemiological, laboratory, and clinical studiesFeatures contributions from world-renowned experts in the field of phytomedicine and nutraceutical agents in chemopreventionIncludes prevention strategies in normal/risk populations through routine inclusion of specific dietary regimens and as therapeutic strategy for better management through adjuvant interventions with conventional treatment protocolsNutraceuticals and Natural Product Derivatives: Disease Prevention & Drug Discovery will appeal to graduate students and professionals in cell and molecular biology, translational research, pharmacology/drug discovery, medicinal chemistry, and clinical nutrition.

This book introduces readers to industrially important enzymes and discusses in detail their structures and functions, as well as their manifold applications. Due to their selective biocatalytic capabilities, enzymes are used in a broad range of industries and processes. The book highlights selected enzymes and their applications in agriculture, food processing and discoloration, as well as their role in biomedicine. In turn, it discusses biochemical engineering strategies such as enzyme immobilization, metabolic engineering, and cross-linkage of enzyme aggregates, and critically weighs their pros and cons.Offering a wealth of information, and stimulating further research by presenting new concepts on enzymatic catalytic functions in basic and applied contexts, the book represents a valuable asset for researchers from academia and industry who are engaged in biochemical engineering, microbiology and biotechnology.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), a critical but often overlooked component of our genetic material. It sheds new light on the functional significance of ncRNAs in gene regulation, epigenetic regulation, development and differentiation, cellular processes and disease pathology.The book follows a logical structure, beginning with chapters introducing ncRNA classifications, biogenesis pathways, regulatory roles and recent advances in functional analysis techniques. The main part discusses their role as therapeutic targets and provides the reader with case studies highlighting the importance of ncRNAs in specific biological processes or diseases. Finally, the book concludes with an outlook on future directions and challenges in ncRNA research.Because of its scope and thorough introduction, this book is intended not only for researchers in molecular biology, genomics, transcriptomics and epigenetics, but also for students and related disciplines. It provides a holistic understanding of ncRNA biology, their contributions to gene regulation and role in health and disease.

This book focuses on the prophylactic potential of diet-derived factors in primary prevention of cancer. It is written by a group of highly reputed experts in the area of dietary agents and cancer chemoprevention. The translational potential of dietary factors from epidemiological, laboratory and clinical studies as prevention strategy in normal and risk populations is highlighted. The work presents options of routine inclusion of specific dietary regimens for prevention as well as therapeutic strategy for better management through adjuvant interventions in cancer treatment.
