Biophotonics Tryptophan And Disease by Laura A. Sordillo, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Biophotonics, Tryptophan and Diseaseis a comprehensive resource on the key role of tryptophan in wide range of diseases as seen by using optics techniques. It explores the use of fluorescence spectroscopy, Raman, imaging techniques and time-resolved spectroscopy in normal and diseased tissues and shows the reader how light techniques (i. e. spectroscopy and imaging) can be used to detect, distinguish and evaluate diseases. Diseases covered include cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and other age-related diseases. Biophotonics, Tryptophan and Diseaseoffers a clear presentation of techniques and integrates material from different disciplines into one resource. It is a valuable reference for students and interdisciplinary researchers working on the interface between biochemistry and molecular biology, translational medicine, and biophotonics. Shows the key role of tryptophan in diseasesEmphasizes how optical techniques can be potent means of assessing many diseasesPoints to new ways of understanding autism, aging, depression, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases | Biophotonics Tryptophan And Disease by Laura A.
