PrefaceThe XII Latin-American Congress of Artificial Organs and Biomaterials, COLAOB 2023,was held in the charming city of Mar del Plata, Argentina, from December 12th to 15th, 2023.This biennial event was a collaborative effort between the Research Institute for MaterialsScience and Technology (INTEMA, UNMdP-CONICET) and the Laboratory of Osteo-articularBiology, Tissue Engineering and Emerging Therapies Research, (LABOATEM, UNR-CONICET) in Argentina.COLAOB's primary objective is to convene scientists from the realms of academia andindustry who share a profound interest in the domains of biomaterials science andengineering, artificial organs, and tissue engineering. Furthermore, the congress serves as aplatform to deliberate on cutting-edge developments in these fields.Under the guiding motto of the congress, “Integrating and Strengthening the Latin-AmericanBiomaterials Community” we aspire to consolidate institutional affiliations and promotescientific discourse among Latin-American research institutions, universities, and companiesengaged in the development and marketing of biomedical products.Since the inception of COLAOB up to the present, this congress series has consistentlyprovided a unique opportunity for researchers, professionals, and PhD students to interactwith thought leaders in their respective fields and present their achievements through bothoral and poster presentations.On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are honored to present this Proceedings bookthat contains the peer-reviewed abstracts of oral and poster presentations.
