{"product_id":"9789814405539","title":"Microfluidic Technologies For Human Health","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe field of microfluidics has in the last decade permeated many disciplines, from physics to biology and chemistry, and from bioengineering to medical research. One of the most important applications of lab-on-a-chip devices in medicine and related disciplines is disease diagnostics, which involves steps from biological sample\/analyte loading to storage, detection, and analysis. The chapters collected in this book detail recent advances in these processes using microfluidic devices and systems. The reviews of portable devices for diagnostic purposes are likely to evoke interest and raise new research questions in interdisciplinary fields (e.g., efficient MEMS\/microfluidic engineering driven by biological and medical applications).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe variety of the selected topics (general relevance of microfluidics in medical and bioengineering research, fabrication, advances in on-chip sample detection and analysis, and specific disease models) ensures that each of them can be viewed in the larger context of microfluidic-mediated diagnostics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Microscale Bioinspired Cochlear-like Sensor \u003ci\u003e(Robert D White, Robert Littrell, and Karl Grosh)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystematic Evaluation of the Efficiencies of Proteins and Chemicals in Pharmaceutical Applications \u003ci\u003e(Morgan Hamon and Jong Wook Hong)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrofluidic Glucose Sensors \u003ci\u003e(Jithesh V Veetil, Sruthi Ravindranathan, Sha Jin, and Kaiming Ye)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplications of Microfabrication and Microfluidic Techniques in Mesenchymal Stem Cell Research \u003ci\u003e(Abhijit Majumder, Jyotsna Dhawan, Oren Levy, and Jeffrey M Karp)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatient-Specific Modeling of Low-Density Lipoprotein Transport in Coronary Arteries \u003ci\u003e(Ufuk Olgac)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoint-of-Care Microdevices for Global Health Diagnostics of Infectious Diseases \u003ci\u003e(Sau Yin Chin, Tassaneewan Laksanasopin, Curtis D Chin, and Samuel K Sia)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Microfluidic Sample Preparation for Chip-based Molecular Diagnostics \u003ci\u003e(Jane Y Zhang, Qingqing Cao, Madhumita Mahalanabis, and Catherine Klapperich)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrofluidic Devices for Cellular Proteomic Studies \u003ci\u003e(Yihong Zhan and Chang Lu)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrofluidics for Neuroscience: Novel Tools and Future Implications \u003ci\u003e(Vivian M Hernandez and P Hande Özdinler)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrofluidics: On-Chip Platforms as \u003ci\u003eIn Vitro\u003c\/i\u003e Disease Models \u003ci\u003e(Shan Gao, Erkin Şeker, and Martin L Yarmush)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication of Microfluidics in Stem Cell and Tissue Engineering \u003ci\u003e(Sasha H Bakhru, Christopher Highley, and Stefan Zappe)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrofluidic “On-the-Fly” Fabrication of Microstructures for Biomedical Applications \u003ci\u003e(Edward Kang, Sau Fung Wong, and Sang-Hoon Lee)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrofluidics as a Promising Tool Toward Distributed Viral Detection \u003ci\u003e(Elodie Sollier and Dino Di Carlo)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrophoresis and Dielectrophoresis for Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC) Analyses \u003ci\u003e(Yağmur Demircan, Gürkan Yilmaz, and Haluk Külah)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltrasonic Embossing of Carbon Nanotubes for the Fabrication of Polymer Microfluidic Chips for DNA Sample Purification \u003ci\u003e(Puttachat Khuntontong, Min Gong, and Zhiping Wang)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFerrofluidics \u003ci\u003e(A Rezzan Kose and Hur Koser)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntibody-based Blood Bioparticle Capture and Separation Using Microfluidics for Global Health \u003ci\u003e(ZhengYuan Luo, ShuQi Wang, Utkan Demirci, TianJian Lu, Feng Xu, and BoFeng Bai)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplications of Quantum Dots for Fluorescence Imaging in Biomedical Research \u003ci\u003e(ShuQi Wang, Matin Esfahani, Dusan Sarenac, Bettina Cheung, Aishwarya Vasudevan, Fatih Inci, and Utkan Demirci)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Engineers, academic researchers and instructors, and industry researchers involved in microfluidic technologies.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136975814896,"sku":"9789814405539","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814405539_p0.jpg?v=1763690911","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814405539","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
