Biomaterials Network, or Biomat.net for short, is a very active information system (re)founded in February 2000 in Porto (Portugal) by Pedro L. Granja (Institute of Biomedical Engineering). The name of both the institute and the information system point to a well es- tablished area of research. Trying to cope with the wealth of detailed infor- mation contained in just a single issue of this internet monthly, you will certainly share this opinion.
