The computer-aided drug design research field comprises several different knowledge areas, and often, researchers are only familiar or experienced with a small fraction of them.
The progress of today's science and technology encounters an increasing demand for finer and more efficiently performing materials with properties superior over those of current and hence ageing devices.
As with any rapid technological development, the biotechnology revolution is putting great strains on the ability of law to adapt to new challenges and threats.
Blockchain is a new type of technology that combines and secures information exchange between different stakeholders such as medical practitioners, patients, healthcare providers, and other applicable parties.
Technology and research in the field of tissue engineering has drastically increased within the last few years to the extent that almost every tissue and organ of the human body could potentially be regenerated.
Based on the proceedings of the eleventh international Cellucon conference held in Tsukuba, Japan, this book offers a comprehensive overview of important research undertaken into all aspects of environmentally compatible polymers.
Polymers from natural sources are particularly useful as biomaterials and in regenerative medicine, given their similarity to the extracellular matrix and other polymers in the human body.
Research into medical modelling and the application of design and product development technologies in medicine and surgery requires a multidisciplinary approach.
