Publisher's Synopsis
This volume in the Bioceramics series includes the papers selected for the 21st International Symposium on Ceramics in Medicine held in Búzios, Brazil, on the 21-24 October 2008.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The Bioceramics 21 Proceedings includes a section which is devoted to theoretical modelling; an important and new issue which involves several fields of knowledge. This trend is reflected by the high number of papers involving both biological and materials sciences. Following the evolution of regenerative medicine, a third generation of bioceramics is represented in these Proceedings by the variety of papers on tissue engineering, nanotechnology and smart materials.
