Nanostructured Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering


Description:
This session seeks papers that describe studies that involve the design and manipulation of nanoscopic structures of biomaterials for tissue engineering applications. This session broadly encompasses the synthesis, processing and characterization of materials where the nanoscale structure is germane to the material's function. Both experimental and theoretical works are welcome.
