Hyaluronan: Proceedings of an International Meeting, September 2000, North East Wales Institute, UK

Hyaluronan and its derivatives have developed very quickly in recent years from a scientific novelty into an important new material for a diverse range of medical and biomaterial applications. The landmark conference on which this 2 volume reference work is based focused on key developments and applications in the use of hyaluronan in tissue repair and reconstruction, drug delivery systems, anti-cancer treatments and joint recovery and engineering. The entire range of hyaluronan progress is dealt with in depth by more than 135 individual papers presented in two volumes covering: analytical chemistry; chemical modification; physical characterization; cell biology and medical applications.
