The critical goal of nanobiosensors is to detect any biochemical and/or biophysical signal related to a specific disease at the level of a single or few molecules. Nanobiosensors have been successful for in vitro as well as in vivo detection of several biomolecules. It is expected that this technology will revolutionize point-of-care and personalized diagnostics, and will be extremely applicable for early disease detection. This book starts with a brief introduction of the biosensors and then focuses mainly on the emerging nanobiosensor technologies which are geared towards onsite clinical applications and those which can be used as a personalized diagnostic device. Written by an international team of researchers who are actively developing these technologies, Nanobiosensors for Personalized and Onsite Biomedical Diagnosis covers the latest advances in the field of biosensors and biosensing applications. This important book includes an assessment of some current and emerging technologies for detecting protein biomarkers and other potential cancer biomarkers and is essential reading for researchers and graduate students in the field. Medics including radiologists and clinicians will also find it invaluable.

We are delighted to present the 2022 Edition of our Frontiers in Chemistry “Rising Stars” article collection.

This year, we have selected Guest Editors who were featured as our Rising Stars in our previous collection together with Editorial Board members. The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of chemical science and presents advances in theory, experiment and methodology with applications to compelling problems.

The book provides an overview of different nanoparticles, their classification, and their applications in healthcare, food sciences, environmental sciences, and agricultural sciences. The introductory chapters discuss different types of nanoparticles, their types, and their structural properties. The subsequent chapter examines factors that influence the biocompatibility and toxicity of NPs for the safe and sustainable development of emerging nanoparticles. The chapter systematically reviews the nanoparticle-based contrast agents employed in most common biomedical imaging modalities. The book further examines the applications of advanced nanoparticle design that are utilized for both non-personalized and precision applications for improving precision therapies. The book provides a comprehensive update on nanoparticles’ toxic effects, the factors underlying their toxicity, and the mechanisms by which toxicity is induced. This book is an ideal guide for researchers and students interested in understanding the applications of nanoparticles in biomedical sciences and the healthcare sector.

Recently, the fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) have revolutionized numerous industries, including healthcare. The convergence of AI and IoT has given birth to smart healthcare systems, transforming the way we deliver, receive, and experience healthcare services. This book explores the profound impact of these technologies on healthcare and presents a comprehensive overview of their applications, challenges, and prospects. Smart Healthcare Systems: AI and IoT Perspectives addresses various aspects of how smart healthcare can be used to detect and analyze diseases, the underlying methodologies, and related security concerns. It also discusses healthcare as a multidisciplinary field that involves a range of sectors such as the financial system, social factors, health technologies, and organizational structures that affect individuals, families, institutions, organizations, and populations’ healthcare. The book presents the goals of healthcare services which include patient safety, timeliness, effectiveness, efficiency, and equity. An outline of what smart healthcare consists of which is m-health, e-health, electronic resource management, smart and intelligent home services, and medical devices is included. Along with highlights on how AI and IoT-enabled healthcare technologies are suitable for remote health monitoring, including rehabilitation, and assisted ambient living.
