The proceedings of the 24th annual meeting of the International Society for Ceramics in Medicine (Bioceramics 24), held in Japan, comprise 133 peer-reviewed papers arranged into 13 chapters: I. Advanced Calcium Phosphate Ceramics; II. Porous Materials; III. Cements; IV. Coatings; V. in vivo Studies and Clinical Application; VI. Cell Studies and Cell-Material Interactions; VII. Composites; VIII. Drug Delivery Carriers; IX. Dental Materials; X. Metals; XI. Zirconia and Alumina Ceramics; XII. Nano-Materials; XIII. Sol-Gel Synthesis and Other Materials. They will be of great help in exploiting the merits of ceramics and in overcoming their weakness in applications involving polymers and metals.

Description: This volume of the "Journal of Biomimetics, Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering" covers topical issue of biomimetic approach to the development of modern means of a wide range of industrial applications, the new solutions in the field of biomedical engineering and of pharmacological practice and also illuminates the results of the latest solutions in the field of development of biomaterials and their application.

Nanoscience is revolutionizing the design of medical devices, tissue scaffolding and drug-delivery systems. New discoveries regarding nano-system, made in other research areas, have opened up the possibility of using them in biomedicine. However, such nanoscience and its possibilities, which sometimes border on science fiction, have to be kept in perspective so as not to lose sight of the limitations with respect to safety that applications within the human body impose.

Description: This collection presents 47 papers. Altogether, the collection offers a wealth of up-to-date information on Materials in Clinical Applications.

Description: This important work is a compilation of the papers presented at the 18th Annual Meeting of the International Society for Ceramics in Medicine (ISCM) held on December 8–12, 2005 in Kyoto, Japan.

Bioceramics 17 is comprised of the papers presented at the 17th Annual Meeting of the International Society for Ceramics in Medicine (ISCM) held on December 8 thru 12, 2004 in New Orleans, Louisiana USA.

Description: Bioceramics has evolved into a major field of study having important implications for humankind’s future health and wellbeing.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The Bioceramics-14 monograph contains more than 160 papers with representations from over 20 countries. The topics range from totally inert, load-bearing materials, such as alumina, zirconia, silicon nitride and diamond to bioreactive materials such as calcium phosphates and bioglasses. The latter have great potential for aiding grafting, bone repair, drug-delivery, and implant-fixation to living tissues.

Description: The purpose of this monograph is to provide a concise, up-to-date reference on these important biomaterials. Engineered materials play a critical role in modern biomedical applications, and crystalline ceramics (as well as the chemically-related, non-crystalline glasses) are finding increasingly wide uses.
