Dear CBS member, This email concerns nominations for positions on the Board of Directors and proposals to host the 2026 Annual Meeting...

As part of its legacy strategy, the NanoMedicines Innovation Network NMIN is creating an online database of Canadian nanomedicines researchers and the areas of expertise represented within their labs...

Dear Trainees, Drs. Marcelo Munoz and Emilio Alarcon will facilitate a workshop on Peptide Synthesis and Applications in Regenerative Medicine at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute from August 14th to 17th, 2023...

Dear Members, The annual conference of the International Society of Biofabrication ISBF is being held this September 17-20 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan...

Natural polymers such as chitosan Ch and pectin P are widely used for the production of scaffolds due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability1...

Cells in vivo are subjected to mechanical signals including deformations, external mechanical forces, and the stiffness of the extracellular matrix1...

Elastic hydrogels carry the potential to serve as scaffolds for various biomedical applications. Though some elastic hydrogels are biocompatible, most of the synthetic polymer-based elastic scaffolds lack bioactive sequences to promote cell adhesion or migration, which is important for their application in tissue engineering...

Electrospun tissue scaffolds made from both natural and synthetic polymers act as excellent scaffolds for cell seeding due to their fibrous properties that mimic the natural extracellular matrix and allow for cell adhesion and proliferation1...

Biofouling due to irreversible accumulation of micro and macro-organism has become a serious threat to medical, marine, and other manufacturing industries...
