Biomaterials for Tracheal Replacement in Age-related Cancer via a Humanly Engineered Airway (BIOtrachea)
Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2017,
Age-related cancers, especially of the trachea, are neoplastic lesions that significantly impact upon the lives of thousands of European patients each year. Unfortunately, most present with inoperable lesions for which median survival is less than 12 months. Based on our previous clinically successful experiences with in vivo completely tissue engineered tracheal replacement in benign tracheal dis ...

Training network for developing innovative (bio)artificial devices for treatment of kidney and liver disease (BIOART)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2016,
Renal and liver diseases are global public health problems, with the incidences of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and end-stage liver disease (ESLD) rising annually. Due to the lack of donor kidneys, most of ESRD patients depend on dialysis treatment using either an artificial kidney or the peritoneal membrane. Both modes are inefficient in removing uremic waste molecules and inadequately remove e ...
