Calcium Phosphates as Delivery Systems for Bisphosphonates
Journal of Functional Biomaterials, 2018 Bisphosphonates (BPs) are the most utilized drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis, and are usefully employed also for other pathologies characterized by abnormally high bone resorption, including bone metastases.
