Project title:

Multifunctional composites biologically active for applications in regenerative medicine of bone system

Project is carried out within the TEAM NET programme of the Foundation for Polish Science

Project description:

The aim of the project is to develop new polymer-ceramic composite biomaterials designed for applications in bone regenerative medicine. As part of cooperation of all research teams, porous implants for bone tissue regeneration and bone stabilizing implants covered with innovative coating materials will be developed. The innovative solution on the coating materials market will be a collagen coating containing both hydroxyapatite and the active substance, i.e. clindamycin. The breakthrough achievement will be to obtain a composite implant that will have the ability to stimulate bone cells by mechanical transduction and release clindamycin and factors: TGF-beta and VEGF.
