Enhancing the regeneration of bone defects in elderly: Rejuvenation of bone microenvironment (RejuvenateBone)

Start date: Apr 10, 2015, End date: Apr 9, 2017,

Bone defects resulting from trauma, tumor resection and bone diseases represent one of the most pressing health problems in the aging European population. Current treatments of bone defects depend on a functional population of bone-forming (osteogenic cells) to mediate the process of bone regeneration. However during aging, the bone formation capacity decreases as a result of multiple interacting ...

Rational Bioactive Materials Design for Tissue Regeneration (BIODESIGN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The development of functional materials for tissue regeneration is today mostly based on perceived and limited design criteria often using a single point approach with lengthy animal trials. The outcome after in-vitro and in-vivo evaluation is often disappointing resulting in a tedious iteration process. The main objective of this project is to achieve radical innovations in state-of-the-art bioma ...
