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

Hydrogels are often used as both drug and cell delivery vehicles due to their high water content, which facilitates diffusion, and mechanical properties, which minimize inflammation from mechanical irritation...

Current methods of drug screening in cancer are limited by the high cost of in vivo testing and the inaccuracy of predicting the effects of a potential chemotherapy drug in 2D cell culture 1 ...

Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation PEO is a simple and cost effective electrochemical technique for the surface modification of metals which recently gained great interest in the biomedical field for its ability to generate a bioactive porous oxide layer on widely used orthopedic metals, such as titanium and its alloys 1 ...

N-functionalized polypyrrole PPy is electrically conductive and can be readily activated with biomolecules, which is particularly useful in biosensors 1 ...

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 ...
