We aim to champion initiatives that enhance awareness regarding the environmental impact of our research and the operations of the European Society for Biomaterials. Our goal is to minimise environmental damage while maintaining a commitment to high-quality research aimed at advancing human health, as opposed to just maintaining research at a high level.

Matrix Marvel: Stem Cells Thriving on Bone-Mimicking Scaffolds
Short description of image: In our studies, I am searching for a synthetic scaffold suitable for the use as a bone-like environment in 3D models of skeletal diseases in vitro. This scanning electron microscopy image shows extracellular matrix (pink) produced by primary mesenchymal stem cells seeded on the 3D-printed tricalcium phosphate scaffold (its granules are in blue). * The fact that the cells produced abundant amounts of matrix and integrated in the scaffold’s microstructure indicates that the tricalcium phosphate scaffold is cytocompatible and can potentially play role of a bone-like environment - at least, from the point of observations in vitro.
Instrument used to produce the image: Scanning Electron Microscope JSM-IT500 by Leica.
