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...

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 ...

The development of biomaterials and engineered tissues are reshaping the future of medicine. Soft and injectable materials are increasingly used to treat pathologies, release drugs and or seed cells for tissue engineering...

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...

Allergic conjunctivitis affects nearly 40 of the North American population 1 . Topical eye drops are the most common treatment method, but it is generally accepted that less than 5 of an applied dose remains bioavailable, resulting in frequent reapplication 2 , 3 ...

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...
