Congratulations to Jinzi Zheng from the Princess Margaret Hospital, Toronto, Canada, who won the Biomaterials Science poster prize at the recent NanoBio 2012 conference in Seattle, USA.
Jinzi Zheng’s winning poster was titled “PET/CT Imaging of the Heterogeneous Distribution of [64Cu]-Iodine Liposomes in Orthotopic Mouse Cervical Tumors”.
NanoBio 2012 was held 23rd – 26th July 2012.
Biomaterials Science has been featured in the Japanese magazine Kagaku Chemistry. If you’re not familiar with it its described as “One of the most widely read monthly magazines in Japan. With sound popularity among students, researchers and engineers of chemistry for over 40 years, “Kagaku”(Chemistry) has been addressing topics on chemistry and related fields from a unique viewpoint. Bearing the slogan ‘Quality content with comprehensible description’, it not only introduces cutting-edge studies, but also tackles environmental issues, chemical education and science policies, while gaining a high reputation as one of the most inspiring magazines in chemistry”

I’ve been having a look at some of the reviews we’ve published in the RSC materials journals and thinking about why we publish review articles. Journals publish different types of reviews. Many are in-depth critical overviews of a topic, others act as tutorials for people moving into a new areas or learning new techniques, some focus specifically on applications or highlight just the most important developments over the last couple of years. I’d be interested to hear what you think makes up a good review. For our part we see reviews as an integral part of our journals and we hope they provide a great overview of the latest trends, opinion, and groundbreaking research for our readers. If you’re interested Biomaterials Science will publish just two broad types of review: reviews and mini-reviews.
Below I’ve gathered together a selection of reviews on biomaterials and materials interfacing with biology. Hopefully this will give you a flavour of the reviews published by RSC journals in this area. The articles are all free to download until 3rd September. I hope you enjoy reading them.
