Metal Ions in Biology & Medicine

A fuller appreciation of the medical, physical and biological aspects of metals is necessary to advance knowledge about which metals are vital to human health, the treatment of disease, their uses, the environmental problems caused by their use, and their interactions with other chemical and biological products. This book, written by leading world specialists, surveys the latest advances in the understanding of metals, sets out the bases for future research and constitutes a remarkable working tool in the context of international research co-operation. A work that will enthrall specialists in internal medicine and respiratory disease, cancerologists and biologists. 3rd International Symposium on Metal Ions in Biology and Medicine, held in Montreal, Canada, May 1994.
