Recent Trends in Life Sciences - Hardcover

Life sciences research plays an important role in the R&D for appliances in the multidisciplinary areas related to living creatures. It generates new knowledge and understanding that provides the foundation for applied research and development. Research provides reliable information in biology for application in the life system; more intensive knowledge creation through research could be seen as a way to enhance innovative activities. Life sciences advances go beyond molecular base science. Improvement also advances behavioural sciences and ecology. The greatest recent advances have been in ecosystem and biodiversity, biotechnology, proteomic and genomic studies leading to metagenomics, and healthcare. The combination of multidisciplinary research in plants, animals, microorganisms and their interactions with molecular biology, genetic engineering approaches and advances in cell biology research has broadened the horizons of the life sciences. This book deals with recent trends in the life sciences and will be beneficial for postgraduate students and researchers.

The greatest advances of the recent past which include ecosystem and biodiversity study, biotechnology aspect, proteomic and genomic studies leading to metagenomic and the health care using the diagnosis, prevention of disorder and disease. The combination of multidisciplinary research in plants, animals, microorganisms their interaction and the molecular biology, genetic engineering approaches and their advances in cell biology research has taken the life sciences, to the greatest extent for the wide horizons of life. The present book deals with life sciences which includes biodiversity and its conservation, sustainable development, bioprospecting, carbon dioxide sequestration, microbial interactions, bioinformatics, bioelectromagnetics, phytoremediation, reuse and recycling of industrial waste, smog pollution, metagenomics, cancer research, immune system, sleep benefits and climate change. This book will be beneficial for the postgraduates and research scholars of life sciences, environmental sciences, molecular biologist and biotechnologist.
