Bioactivated hierarchical hydrogels as zonal implants for articular cartilage regeneration (HYDROZONES)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
Degeneration of cartilage is a major cause of chronic pain, lost mobility and reduced quality of life for millions of European citizens. From a clinical point of view treatment to achieve cartilage regeneration (hyaline) and not only repair (fibrous) remains a great challenge. No clinical therapy is available that leads to healing of cartilage defects.Current cartilage implants cannot establish th ...

Small Artery Remodelling (SmArteR)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,
Cardiovascular disease remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Europe. Small arteries form a key element in the pathogenesis. Thus, these vessels dictate local perfusion and blood pressure by adaptation of their caliber. Structural changes towards smaller caliber, small artery remodelling, cause hypertension and decreased organ perfusion, leading to acute events and chronic end organ d ...

Bioactive Implantable Polymers based on UreidoPyrimidinone (BIP-UPy)
Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2017,
BIP-UPy addresses the need for biomedical implants which can be easily fine-tuned in their properties in regards to bioactivity, biodegradability, and mechanical performance, and thereby be optimized for their targeted clinical application.This project will develop a library comprising of a selection of synthetic polymers and specific bioactivities which can be used to provide the required propert ...

Personalised and intergrated cardiac care: \nPatient-specific Cardiovascular Modelling and Simulation for In Silico Disease Understanding and Management (euHeart)
Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has a significant impact on the European society in terms of mortality, morbidity and allied healthcare costs. The opportunity of multi-scale modelling spanning, sub-cellular level up to whole heart is to improve CVD outcomes by providing a consistent, biophysically-based framework for the integration of the huge amount of fragmented and inhomogeneous data currently av ...

Advanced Turbulence Simulation for Aerodynamic Application Challenges (ATAAC)
Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2012,
"The ATAAC project aims at improvements to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods for aerodynamic flows used in today’s aeronautical industry. The accuracy of these is limited by insufficient capabilities of the turbulence modelling / simulation approaches available, especially at the high Reynolds numbers typical of real-life flows. As LES will not be affordable for such flows in the next 4 d ...
