Publication of a scientific research paper in an international journal indexed in Scopus and belonging to the first quartile, where Assistant Professor Dr. Zeinab Talib Abdul Zaid Al-Sharifi, Associate Dean for Scientific Affairs, published a scientific paper titled “Nano bioceramics properties, applications, hydroxyapatite, nanohydroxyapatite and drug delivery” in the journal Case Studies in Chemical and Environment, published by the global publishing house Elsevier. The journal is classified within Scopus and Clarivate indexes and is one of the leading journals in the first quartile (Q1) with an impact factor of 9.2, making it one of the highest-ranking journals in this field.
The research addresses recent developments in the biomedical field using bioceramic materials, especially nanohydroxyapatite, which is known for its chemical similarity to bones. The study focuses on the role of these materials in treating bone diseases, tissue repair, and dentistry, as well as their use as effective drug delivery carriers. It also reviews sustainable methods for producing these materials from natural and industrial sources, improving their mechanical and chemical properties, and enhancing their biocompatibility through studying immune responses.
The research aims to provide innovative and sustainable solutions that support regenerative medicine and improve human quality of life.
