COMPOSITE PHENOTYPIC TRIGGERS FOR BONE AND CARTILAGE REPAIR (OPHIS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

Osteoarthritis (OA) and osteoporosis (OP) are disabling, degenerative bone diseases with significant economic and societal impacts. The incidence of these conditions increases with age but in recent years the number of younger patients has increased, due mainly to factors related to modern life-styles. The efficiency of current pharmacologic and implant-based solutions are limited and often poorly ...

Angiogenesis-inducing Bioactive and Bioresponsive Scaffolds in Tissue Enginering (AngioScaff)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

Angiogenesis underlies almost all biological processes of morphogenesis, including those in tissue repair and regeneration. Physiological angiogenesis is controlled by a complex interplay between cells and their environment: the extracellular matrix (ECM) provides signaling via numerous ECM adhesion molecules and growth factors bound to ECM polysaccharide components; and cells locally degrade and ...

Simultaneous Evaporation and Pressurized Thermal Oxidation (Technical Oxygen) of Liquids Containing Organic and Inorganic Compounds (THERMOX)

Start date: Jul 1, 2001, End date: Dec 31, 2003,

Background Incineration is a way to environmentally treat heavily polluted waste waters, but plants working on this principle need to be very large to be both competitive on the market and to keep to legal thresholds, especially concerning chlorinated dioxins and furans. Furthermore, the costs are high due to the need for extra transportation, as such pla ...
