Bioactivated hierarchical hydrogels as zonal implants for articular cartilage regeneration (HYDROZONES)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
Degeneration of cartilage is a major cause of chronic pain, lost mobility and reduced quality of life for millions of European citizens. From a clinical point of view treatment to achieve cartilage regeneration (hyaline) and not only repair (fibrous) remains a great challenge. No clinical therapy is available that leads to healing of cartilage defects.Current cartilage implants cannot establish th ...

Tissue in Host Engineering Guided Regeneration of Arterial Intimal Layer (THE GRAIL)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
"The concept of THE GRAIL project is the creation of an in vivo, in situ structured bioactive, selectively porous, bioresorbable scaffold that locally regenerates intima growth after endovascular treatment of the obstructed arteries in patients with atherosclerosis. Arterial obstruction due to arteriosclerosis is the cause of a wide spectrum of diseases, disabilities and death, because of induced ...

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 ...

Bioprinting of novel hydrogel structures for cartilage tissue engineering (PRINTCART)
Start date: Jul 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2014,
"Bioprinting is a young, promising but undeveloped area in tissue engineering. It refers to the automated fabrication of tissue engineering constructs with incorporated living cells. The particular advantages as compared to the manual cell seeding of prefabricated scaffolds are the abilities to mimic the cellular organisation of native tissues, and to upscale to (economically feasible) clinical ap ...
