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...

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...

Scaffold porosity plays an important role in bone tissue engineering as macropores promote cell migration and flow of nutrients and micropores promote protein adsorption and cell adhesion...

Myofibroblasts have been implicated in scar tissue formation around biomaterials. When biomaterials are implanted as part of a tissue engineered construct, as a sensor, as a prosthetic or even as a drug delivery device, scar formation fibrosis around the biomaterial often interferes with the intended function...

Tissue contraction is a critically important process in homeostasis, developmental morphogenesis and pathological processes such as wound closure, tumour progression, and fibrotic disease...

Engineered biomaterials for manipulating the immune response for direct therapeutic outcomes is a burgeoning field of research...
