Dear members of the Canadian Biomaterials Society, We are inviting you today to a Conference Series that is being organized by the BioEngineering and Therapeutic Solutions BEaTS Laboratory, in partnership with the Ottawa Student Chapter of the CBS CBS-OSC , the University of Ottawa, the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, and the University of Toronto...
Flexible and highly interconnected, multi-scale patterned chitosan porous membrane produced in situ from mussel shell to accelerate wound healing
comments
We report a mussel shell-derived membrane with a multiscale ordered structure for wound dressing. As an ideal biologically derived dressing, it should be non-toxic and non-allergenic with an appropriate pore size to remove excess exudates...
In the area of cancer research, a major issue with conventional 2D cell culture is that it cannot reproduce complex in vivo cell-extracellular matrix ECM interactions, nor those between cancer epithelial cells and stromal compartment, which play a crucial role in tumorigenesis and progression...
Injectable hydrogels that can be delivered using needles offer particular advantages in biomedical applications given that these hydrogels do not require invasive surgical implantation, thereby reducing recovery time for patients, reducing costs, and in many cases enabling direct encapsulation, rather than post-encapsulation, of cells during the gel formation process 1 ...
3D bioprinting of hydrogel-based scaffolds is a growing field with diverse applications in bioseparations 1 , catalysis 2 , drug screening 3 and tissue engineering 4 , among others...
"Hands-on, Minds-on, and Science-up": A Concept-based Learning Laboratory with a Taste of Research Experience for an Undergraduate Biomedical Engineering Course
comments
While the field of biomedical engineering is set to cultivate future breakthroughs in biology, medicine, and engineering, a clear strategy for empowering undergraduate students to develop skills in solving complex problems at the interfaces between these disciplines has not yet been established...
