"Nano Engineering for Cross Tolerance: new approach for bioengineered, vascularised, chimeric islet transplantation in non-immunosuppressed hosts." (NEXT)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
"Diabetes is caused by insufficient or lack of insulin secretion by the specialized B cells of the pancreas and, if not treated adequately evolves into in complications which alter patients integrity and wellness. Treatment is based on lifetime drugs administration for blood glucose control or parenteral infusion of insulin to better control glucose levels and glycosylation of hemoglobin. Artifici ...

COMPOSITE PHENOTYPIC TRIGGERS FOR BONE AND CARTILAGE REPAIR (OPHIS)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
Osteoarthritis (OA) and osteoporosis (OP) are disabling, degenerative bone diseases with significant economic and societal impacts. The incidence of these conditions increases with age but in recent years the number of younger patients has increased, due mainly to factors related to modern life-styles. The efficiency of current pharmacologic and implant-based solutions are limited and often poorly ...

Magnetic Scaffolds for in vivo Tissue Engineering (MAGISTER)
Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
The main driving idea of the project is the creation of conceptually new type of scaffolds able to be manipulated in situ by means of magnetic forces. This approach is expected to generate scaffolds with such characteristics as multiple use and possibly multipurpose delivery in order to repair large bone defects and ostheocondral lesions in the articular surface of the skeletal system. The major ...

Novel biofunctional high porous polymer scaffolds and techniques controlling angiogenesis for the regeneration and repair of the degenerated intervertebral disc (Disc Regeneration)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
30% of European workers experience back pain, and it is the most frequently reported work-related disorder. The proposed work seeks to provide a cure for lower back pain by developing porous scaffolds and technology which will repair a damaged intervertebral disc (IVD) by enabling its regeneration to a natural healthy state or better. Injectable acellular and cell-loaded bioactive polymer-based sc ...
