This new work is dedicated to glasses and their variants which can be used as biomaterials to repair diseased and damaged tissues. Bio-glasses are superior to other biomaterials in many applications, such as healing bone by signaling stem cells to become bone cells.

Key features:

• First book on biomaterials to focus on bio-glasses
• Edited by a leading authority on bio-glasses trained by one of its inventors, Dr Larry Hench
• Supported by the International Commission on Glass (ICG)
• Authored by members of the ICG Biomedical Glass...
