The Fall 2019 edition of the CBS Newsletter is now available. Read about the latest initiatives from CBS, look back at the Quebec City CBS Annual Meeting and look ahead to WBC 2020 coming up this May in Glasgow, find out more about our very active student chapters across the country, meet the new CBS Senior Board Members and President-Elect, and learn more about the many award opportunities provided by CBS...

It is my pleasure to announce that Dr. Sophie Lerouge and Dr. Lauren Flynn have been elected by board of directors as CBS representatives for the IUS-BSE for the period of 2020-2024...

We are very pleased to inform you that Dr. Diego Mantovani has been selected by the Board of Directors of the Canadian Biomaterials Society CBS as the next recipient of the CBS Service Award, acknowledging his outstanding contributions to our Society...

On behalf of CBS Award committee, we wish Dr. Felipe Eltit a hearty congratulation on receiving the CBS Visiting Scholar Award of the year...

Tumors behavior involves complicated molecular biology and correspondingly complicated dynamics. Primary malignant tumors originate from small numbers of cells that go through an avascular devoid of blood vessels mode at their early stage of growth 1 ...

Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the animal kingdom. Differential scanning calorimetry DSC and hydrothermal isometric tension HIT tests are two techniques that have been used for decades to assess the thermal and thermomechanical characteristics of collagen...

Recent efforts from the scientific community have focused on the development of in vitro systems that recapitulate key components of the complex architecture of tissues and organ functions, showing tremendous potential for disease modelling as well as drug development and discovery...

Adipose tissue has a high capacity for expansion and regression throughout mammalian life. Nevertheless, following reconstructive surgeries designed to augment adipose depots, or tissue injury, adipose tissue displays limited regenerative capacity, and is instead often replaced with scar tissue...

Increasing the overall sensitivity of sensing materials is a key feature in their application. As technology advances, not only is customizing the electrical conductivity of the material of importance, but many applications also require biocompatibility...
