| Publisher Description: Since the publication of Biomimetic Nanoceramics in Clinical Use, there have been major advances in the field of nanoceramics for biomedical applications including new materials and the development of applications in drug delivery and gene therapy. This follow up edition is fully revised and updated with the recent progress and includes additional material on bone mineralization processes, new synthesis strategies and applications of nanostructured biocermics to manufacture 3D macroporous scaffolds and as nanovehicles for targeted drug delivery and gene therapies. Written by a world leading expert in biomaterials, the book will appeal to those interested in materials for biomedical applications. |
Contributor Bio(s): Vallet-Regi, Maria: - María Vallet-Regí was born in Las Palmas, Spain, in 1946. She studied Chemistry at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) and received her PhD at the same University in 1974. She is full professor of Inorganic Chemistry and Head of the Department of Inorganic Chemistry and Bioinorganic at the Faculty of Pharmacy (UCM). Her current research field is solid state chemistry, covering aspects of synthesis, characterisation and reactivity in oxides and bioceramics.Arcos Navarrete, Daniel: - Daniel Arcos was born in Madrid, Spain, in 1971. He is holding a postdoctoral research position ('Ramón y Cajal' grant) at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain. Since completing his PhD in 2002 on the synthesis and evaluation of bioactive glasses and glass-ceramics, he has worked on the structural studies of silicon containing hydroxyapatites. Currently, his research is focused on mesoporous materials for biomedical applications |
