Millions of teeth are saved each year by root canal therapy. Although current treatment
modalities offer high levels of success for many conditions, an ideal form of therapy might …

The response of host organisms (including at the protein and cellular level) to nanomaterials
is different than that observed to conventional materials. Nanomaterials are those materials …

The controlled release of medicaments remains the most convenient way of drug delivery.
Therefore, a wide variety of reports can be found in the open literature dealing with drug …

This review seeks to give an overview of the current approaches to drug delivery from
scaffolds for neural tissue engineering applications. The challenges presented by attempting …

Nanofibers have recently gained substantial interest for potential applications in tissue
