Objective
Soft tissue defects are a challenging problem in plastic and reconstructive surgery and there is still a need for adequate solution. A high number of patients are suffering the disfiguring loss of soft tissue mainly due to traumatic, congenital or post-surgical defects (eg.removal of breast cancer). Imitation of the human adipose tissue by developing new tissue engineering technologies could help to solve the problem. Many US companies are now ahead of the competition in the applied research of this field. The main objective of the project is to bring together new technologies of polymeric scaffold engineering and recent cell culturing techniques to develop a living and viable artificial adipose tissue to be surgically implanted for a more efficient treatment of large soft tissue defects. The bio-hybrid to be developed will be composed of autologus adipocyte-precursor cells grown on an optimized biodegradable scaffold.
