Bioceramics 19

This latest volume in the Bioceramics series is a collection of selected papers submitted to the 19th International Symposium on Ceramics in Medicine, held in Chengdu, China, from the 10 to 13th October, 2006. Among the many topics covered by the papers are: bio-active and bio-inert ceramics, composites, coatings, bioactive cements, porous materials, protien absorption, cell-material interactions in vitro, tissue response and clinical applications. In [particular, tissue engineering, drug delivery, nanotechnology and surface modification were covered by an appreciable number of papers; thus reflecting the rapid progress made in these cutting-edge research topics and the latest directions taken by developments in biomaterials and their clinical applications. The book will be invaluable to materials scientists, bioengineers, molecular and cellular biologists, and clinicians.Zhang, Xingdong is the author of 'Bioceramics 19 ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780878494224 and ISBN 0878494227.
