Editorial Reviews

Proceedings of the April 1995 conference, presenting the latest research in the structure, function, and applications of biofunctional membranes (entities in which a collection of biomolecules or cells is incorporated into a polymeric matrix cast in the form of porous membranes). Highlights advances in biomaterials; membrane-based enzyme bioreactors; bioseparations; biosensors and membrane-based imprinting; and medical applications in areas such as artificial organs and management of diseases with circulating pathomolecules.
