Metal Ions in Biology and Medicine Volume 11. Including the 4th workshop on the aqueous chemistry an biochemistry of silicon. - Laetitia Pele - John Libbey Eurotext - broché - Etude

The aim of the English language series "Metal Ions" is to create state of the art knowledge on metal and mineral ions and their role in therapy, or in the mechanism of illnesses, or even in the overall improvement of human health.The authors also describe the mechanisms as they appear in the in vivo or in vitro models or in the analytical methods.This volume therefore gathers together a large number of presentations from the international conference in Cambridge in June 2011, whether commissioned by or submitted to members of the Scientific Committee.It also features presentations from the 4th Aqueous Workshop held at the same time on the Chemistry and Biochemistry of Silicon.The work is divided into two parts:The first part includes abstracts of papers that were accepted for oral or poster presentations.The second part includes mini-reviews and short papers, all edited and validated by the scientific committee.
