Naturally based biomaterials and therapeutics: the case of India

This text advances biomedical innovations to address the plethora of health problems afflicting the developing world.

A panoply of cultural, economic, infrastructural, and other factors prevent many interventions currently popular in the developed world from being similarly effective in the developing world.

This book discusses less-traditional approaches, such as naturally based biomaterials and therapeutics, an area that has traditionally been overlooked but has also demonstrated impressive potential for health applications in recent years.
