Cel
Osteoporosis and bone degeneration in aging populations as well as bone defects caused by trauma and pathology grounds a societal need for therapeutic products. The main goal and the breakthrough of this project are to implement a novel concept of biomat erials for bone regeneration, with a range of properties that elicit specific cell responses. The biomaterials developed in this project will give improvements in health, quality of life, environment and safety. These multifunctional biomaterials will be injectable, porous, intelligent and biodegradable to promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Because these biomaterials will be injectable, they will be applied by means of minimally invasive surgery. This means less suffering by the patient, reduction o f health care cost, simple surgical technique and improved working conditions. These biomaterials will be an advantageous alternative to autologous bone due to their large availability and that they can be obtained sterilized right off the shelf.
