Stem-cell based therapy for kidney repair (STELLAR)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2017,
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 8% of the European population and ultimately results in renal failure due to progressive fibrosis. CDK carries a high mortality risk and the number of affected people rises, increasing the demand on renal replacement therapies while the number of available donor organs stays stable.The STELLAR consortium proposes to develop an alternative to renal replacement ...

Rapid Prototyping of Custom-Made Bone-Forming Tissue Engineering Constructs (RAPIDOS)
Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2017,
"In cranio-maxillofacial surgery, large blow-out orbital floor fractures have still mitigated outcomes and improved scaffold solutions are needed. The reconstruction of large bone defects in proximal femur or proximal tibia in orthopaedic surgery is also an enormous challenge due to the requirements for both complex shape and partial load bearing ability. This is the goal of this European and Chin ...

bioREACtor for stem cell tHerapy (REACH)
Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2016,
The REACH-project is a direct result of the FP7 StemExpand project, which aimed at the expansion and engraftment of hematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) for clinical use. The results of these research activities show that a novel, closed and controlled bioreactor can be developed to grow clinically relevant numbers (>400 million) of MSCs. XPand Biotechnology BV(NL) [bioreactor developmen ...

Stem Cell Expansion - Expansion and engraftment of haematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells (STEMEXPAND)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,
"Serious disorders of the blood system, particularly malignant blood disorders and genetic diseases can be effectively treated by blood and marrow transplantation. Despite considerable success with this treatment modality during the last decades, lack of suitable donors, engraftment failure and graft versus host disease remain serious problems that need to be addressed. This project aims to addres ...
