Dear Members, The annual conference of the International Society of Biofabrication ISBF is being held this September 17-20 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan...
Several adhesives found in nature perform in ways that synthetic adhesives do not yet match. For example, even though many aquatic organisms have adapted to adhere to surfaces in aqueous environments, it remains an engineering challenge to synthesize biocompatible adhesives that are effective in wet conditions...
Primary amine-rich C-NH2 surfaces have shown great interest to foster cell adhesion and growth, or efficient covalent immobilization of bioactive molecules to induce specific interactions with cells...
Even with all recent technologies, peripheral nerve transections are still a challenge for surgeon. Nerve defect can lead to severe loss of sensibility and motor functions with significant impact on patient s quality of life...
There has been a recent rise in cancer occurrence and increase in the risk of metastatic cancer. Bone is the third most common site for metastases, with breast and prostate tumors often the primary source...
Keywords Photobiomodulation, Wound Healing, In Vitro Model The potential for near infrared IR light emitting diodes LEDs to increase the healing rate of injuries has been suggested by multiple research and product development groups...
