Biomedical Science and Technical Technology: Recent Developments in the Pharmaceutical and Medical Sciences

Contains 25 articles presented at the September 1997 symposium, BIOMED-4, assembled to offer young researchers a sampling of current work in this multifaceted field and to promote the international interchange of ideas in subjects ranging from polymers, adjuvants, and vaccines to pharmaceutical, biotechnological, dental, and medical applications. Topics addressed include application of microencapsulation, recent advances in nanoparticles, biodegradable polymers, pH-sensitive polymers, phospholipid-stabilized emulsions, drug carriers for biotecholology-derived products, tissue engineering of liver, adjuvants in vaccines, perflurocarbons in wound healing, and polymers used in dentistry, orthopedics, and urology.
