Biomimetic nano-fiber-based nucleus pulposus regeneration for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (NPMimetic)

Date du début: 1 févr. 2011, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2015,

"The intervertebral discs form the elastic part of the spine. It is composed of the annulus fibrosus, a tough outer layer of fibrocartilage, surrounding an elastic gelatinous core, the nucleus pulposus (NP). With age, the water content of the NP decreases, thus, the mechanical loads concentrate on the annulus. This leads to the NP wear, and cracking with a subsequent inflammation reaction and a pr ...

Novel approaches for prevention and degeneration of pathogenic bacteria biofilms formed on medical devices e.g. catheters (NOVO)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2014,

"Biofilms are bacterial communities encased in a self-produced hydrated polymeric matrix. An important characteristic of microbial biofilms is their innate resistance to the immune system and susceptibility to antibiotics. This resistance has made microbial biofilms a common cause of medical infections, and difficult-to-treat infections caused by colonized foreign bodies.The NOVO project aims at d ...
