The NBTE celebrated it's 30th anniversary in 2021!

To mark this historic occasion, a special issue in Bioactive Materials (impact factor 14.12) will be dedicated to the research work within the NBTE and will focus on highlighting the latest findings and trends in the field in The Netherlands. Additionally, there is also a special issue inTissue Engineering A (impact factor 3.8) that presents various reviews of current and past NBTE-related research.
