BIOSURF VII abstracts will be published in a special supplement of the European Cells and Materials (ECM) free online journal.
International 'Open Access' journal ECM, enables rapid publication of peer-reviewed papers to disseminate scientific knowledge world-wide without profit.
ECM provides an international and interdisciplinary forum for publication and discussion for researchers in the following fields:
- Assessment of materials for biomedical use & interaction with tissues/ cells /bacteria.
- Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
- Properties of bone, cartilage, intervertebral disc & other related connective tissues.
- Stem and Progenitor Cells.
ECM carries original research papers, reviews and tutorials on the advances made within the journal scope. All articles are peer-reviewed and reviewer comments, together with responses by authors, are published as an integral part of the paper.
