Dear CBS members - I am pleased to announce that the WBC2016 Legacy award committee has reviewed all the applications and selected the winners of the Travel awards...

Dear members of the CBS, We need your help to reshape the CBS logo. All details of the contest are indicated in our Fall2018 Newsletter...

I am pleased to inform you that Dr. Mohsen Akbari, Isabelle Catelas, Milica Radisic and Tom Willett have been elected as Senior Board Members and Laura McKiel as Student Board Member...

The Annual General Meeting of the Canadian Biomaterials Society will be held on May 17, 2018, 12 00 1 00 PM PST in the Michele Pujol Room at the Student Union Building SUB at the University of Victoria...

Soft hydrogels provide a favorable environment for cells to grow, proliferate and differentiate however, in the context of 3D bioprinting, relatively few options exist in terms of the types of hydrogels that can be printed to form functional tissue constructs...

Hydrogels are three-dimensional crosslinked polymer networks that have been widely explored in drug delivery given that their tunable internal porosities allow drugs to be loaded and subsequently released with user-defined kinetics...

Encapsulated, aligned nanofibers fabricated by solution electrospinning can serve as multifunctional biomaterial scaffolds, due to their desirable topographical and drug delivery properties 1 ...

Significant bone loss due to internal or external factors remains a large orthopedic challenge. Current interventions use either autograft or allograft sources that carry a significant complication burden and show limited functional recovery, emphasizing the demand for an alternative therapeutic solution...

While injectable hydrogels have several advantages in the context of experimental medicine and tissue engineering, their relatively weak mechanical properties and isotropic network structure often limit their practical applications or translation to clinical use...
