Case Studies of Applications of Digital Networks Theories to Molecular Network Stacks

This chapter emphasizes networking theories applied to medical/biological/standard cases which use molecular communication (MC) systems, and specifically these examples use stacked-layer network models and functionalities which are analyzed in previous chapters. Then, in this book’s last chapter, MCs advantages are used for application in several areas. For example, these systems can be used in medicine for personalized diagnosis, disease detection, and treatments such as drug delivery and nanosurgery. Additionally, some case studies in applications such as bacterial molecular communication, the Internet of nano-things healthcare, modeling nonviral gene delivery, and hybrid DNA are provided. Thus, this chapter describes practical applications that become the principal goal of the book and specifies the enormous importance that MC systems have in vital areas of science and technology.
