Dear CBS Members and Friends. As our annual general meeting AGM approaches we are actively seeking nominations for available spots on the Board of Directors for the CBS, the student representative, and both secretary and treasurer roles...

Dear CBS Friends and Members, Please find the Spring 2026 newsletter attached here. Regards, Patricia Comeau, CBS Secretary

Dear CBS Members and Friends, We have been asked to share the following message on behalf of the organizing committee for our upcoming CBS CSPS cc-CRS meeting in Vancouver, BC...

Dear Canadian Biomaterials Society Members Friends, A call for late-breaking abstracts has now been released for our upcoming CBS CSPS cc-CRS 2026 meeting this June in sunny Vancouver, BC...

Inflammation is primarily mediated by the innate immune system, and is a necessary stage in healthy wound healing that removes wound debris, prevents infection, and prepares the wound bed for tissue formation...

Elastin is the extracellular protein primarily responsible for elasticity in animal tissues. Elastin self-assembles from its protein building block unit, tropoelastin, via a liquid-liquid phase separation process known as coacervation...

Traditionally, controlled release from local delivery vehicles has involved diffusion-based strategies, where an encapsulated therapeutic diffuses slowly out of a nanoparticle...

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...

Bioelastomers biocompatible elastic polymers are extensively used in tissue engineering due to their desirable mechanical strength, tunable properties, and chemical versatility...
