| Sumario: | This chapter is dedicated to demonstrating how both the hydrothermal synthesis of crystalline zeolites with precise atomic compositions and the knowledge of their physics-chemical characteristics allow designing selective materials, useful as powerful tools for biomedical applications. The adsorption of proteins and enzymes, dyes, and drugs and the preparation of scaffolds for in vitro testing of new food and cosmetic formulations are discussed according to the configuration, the composition, and the morphology of prepared materials. Finally, the study of the chemical, molecular, and supramolecular interactions between interesting biological species, drugs, cells, and synthetic materials was used to produce advanced materials and active scaffolds. |
