Dear CBS Members, The World Biomaterials Congress 2024 WBC2024 is soliciting recommendations for plenary speakers...

Through the BioInnovation Institute Science Prize for Innovation, the editors of Science seek to recognize bold researchers who are asking fundamental questions at the intersection of the life sciences and entrepreneurship...

We are pleased to open the call for applications for the CBS Mentorship and Professional Development, a program specifically designed to connect professionals outside of academia with graduate students and postdoctoral fellows coming from the Canadian biomaterial s community...

14th Intl Symposium on Biodegradable Metals for Applications on behalf of Professor Mantovani and the Quebec City Student Chapter Want to discover the next generation of bioresorbable metals aiming to bridge the gap between biomaterials and tissue engineering for pediatric, dental, orthopedic, vascular, cardiac, neurological applications, and more? The final program of the upcoming 14th Intl Symposium on Biodegradable Metals for Biomedical Applications is now online...

Patients with chronic kidney disease usually have a higher level of protein carbamylation than healthy people, which is strongly associated with cardiac damage, congestive heart failure, and sudden cardiac death...

Naturally-bioactive hydrogels, such as gelatin methacrylate GelMA , provide favorable properties for tissue-engineering applications, but lack strength and require complex fabrication or multi-component additives, to improve material strength, which can compromise other properties...

Generally, drug molecules are associated with low solubility in physiological media, rapid metabolism or undesired interaction with proteins present in the blood including enzymes and antibodies...

Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder that affects roughly 1 in 5000 live births. A form of this disease, hemophilia B, is caused by deficiencies of the clotting protein, factor IX FIX , which is part of the coagulation cascade that, when activated by vascular injury, generates fibrin and its crosslinker, factor XIIIa FXIIIa ...

Vascular tissue engineering usually relies on the cellularization of scaffold materials with vascular cells with the ultimate aim to produce artificial blood vessels substitutes overcoming the drawbacks of current vascular grafts, especially for small diameter vessels...
