Description:This new volume covers some of the most important and latest research trends and applications in modern biotechnology, with special attention on how modern biotechnology advances human healthcare. These ground-breaking technologies hold tremendous potential in the development of new tools and techniques that can in turn be used in the synthesis and production of novel biological entities with a potential to improve disease diagnostics in general and healthcare facilities in particular.The chapters in the book exploremicroRNAs as next-generation therapeutic and diagnostic agentsapplications of CRISPR-Cas-based diagnosticsCRISPR-Cas as a genome-editing toolengineered gut microbiomes for treating diseasesantibiotics and plant-derived antimicrobials for healthcarestem cell technology and regenerative medicineand moreTaking multidisciplinary perspective on these state-of-the-art biotechnologies, this volume provides a valuable overview for professionals, researchers, faculty, and students in many areas of biotechnology, medical science, and other health related areas.
