Metals in Medicine: Volume 1: Metals for Tissue Engineering and Pharmaceutical Applications

Metals in Medicine, published in two volumes, provides detailed information on and applications of metal-containing compounds that function as essential tools in medical science for the imaging and diagnosis of disease as well for the prevention and treatment of many diseases. Volume 1 offers a curated collection of the latest medicinal and inorganic chemical research featuring metals for medicinal applications. It covers the use of metallic foams, metallic nanocarriers, metal organic frameworks of bioimaging and biosensing application, metallic scaffolds for tissue engineering, and much more. The volume also presents the valuable therapeutic and diagnostic properties of metallic drugs, connecting the fields of inorganic chemistry and medicine. Volume 2: Metallic Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications deals with the application of particular metal-active drugs for disease treatment and diagnosis, presenting the compounds/complexes that have been found to be promising for potential therapeutic use along with their properties.
