BIOengineered grafts for Cartilage Healing In Patients (BIO-CHIP) (BIO-CHIP)

Start date: Nov 1, 2015, End date: Oct 31, 2019,

Spontaneous healing of articular cartilage injuries is poor and untreated defects predispose to osteoarthritis. Current therapies, including innovative autologous cell-based treatments, cannot predictably and reproducibly restore cartilage structure and function. BIOCHIP will carry out a multicenter, prospective phase II clinical trial to treat knee cartilage injuries using engineered grafts based ...

Implant Disposable Antibacterial Coating (I.D.A.C.): a Novel Approach to Implant-Related Infections in Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery (I.D.A.C.)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

With a share of 38%, orthopaedic and traumatology (O&T) are the worldwide leading markets of implanted biomaterials, involving millions of new patients each year at an increasing trend. Infection related to implanted medical devices is directly related to bacterial capability to establish multilayered, highly structured biofilms on artificial surfaces. Bacterial infections due to implanted biomate ...

Disc-degeneration linked pathologies: novel biomarkers and diagnostics for targeting treatment and repair (Genodisc)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

Disorders arising from degeneration of the intervertebral disc are an enormous clinical and financial burden on European societies. Most of the burden arises from 10% of patients who become chronically disabled. Any factor which will improve treatment of back pain sufferers or prevent development of chronic disability would have an important impact both on society and in improving quality of life ...
