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.
