Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
Vincenzini (World Academy of Ceramics, Italy) and Scilingo (U. of Pisa, Italy) collect 16 papers from Symposium J, "Biomedical Applications of Smart Technologies," of CIMTEC 2012, the Fourth International Conference on "Smart Materials, Structures and Systems," held in Montecatini Terme, Italy, during June 2012. Paper topics relate to active and stimuli response materials, medical diagnostics and imaging, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, and targeted drug and gene delivery, such as the use of interactive textiles for health monitoring, nanotechnology-enabled in situ orthopedic sensors for personalized medicine, the fabrication of a scaffold for bone regeneration using stereolithography, and the design and development of light-sensitive chitosan-based nanocarriers for gene delivery. Contributors work in engineering, chemistry, biotechnology, medicine, and other sciences in Europe, Asia, Brazil, Australia, and North America.
