Precision Medicine and Human Health covers several aspects of precision medicine in 20 edited reviews by researchers and healthcare professionals. The breadth of information provided by the contributors aims to familiarize readers with basic and applied research in personalized therapy.
Starting with an overview of the subject and its relationship with epigenetics, the book progresses into advanced topics that explain its wider applications. The use of precision medicine in treating different diseases such as protein misfolding disorders, gut ulcers and their effect on the gut microbiome, cancer treatment (for hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer, and oral cancer), fibromyalgia, high altitude sickness, and multiple sclerosis is explained. The book also covers modern therapeutic techniques to administer personalized therapy, including epithelial-mesenchymal therapy (EMT), circadian clock modulation, and artificial intelligence and phytoconstituents. The next chapters cover advanced technologies that are crucial to precision medicine, such as nanomaterials and advanced drug delivery systems. A concluding chapter on the therapeutic use of tannins in precision medicine rounds up the contents.
