Targeting Cartilage Regeneration in joint and intervertebral disc diseases (TargetCaRe)

Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Feb 28, 2019,

Mobility, important for well-being, is seriously impaired by chronic low back pain and osteoarthritis in many people due to degeneration of cartilaginous tissue of the intervertebral disc and joint. To develop a treatment for these diseases this ETN aims to combine expertise in novel highly advanced drug delivery carriers with dedicated targeting tools, state of the art imaging techniques and expe ...

Biomimetic nano-fiber-based nucleus pulposus regeneration for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (NPMimetic)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2015,

...ogies to allow motion preservation, with long-term outcomes. Based on electrospinning proprietary technology of partner NIC and a novel chemically modified ECM-based biopolymer, developed by partner ProCore, the NPmimetic consortium will develop biomimetic nano-polymer based gel for minimally invasive treatment for disc regeneration: Electrospinning technology will be exploited to design and deve ...

ADIPOSE DERIVED STROMAL CELLS FOR OSTEOARTHRITIS (ADIPOA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease for which no efficient therapy is available. The ADIPOA consortium has previously shown that intraarticular injections of stromal cells prevents OA in two different models, but the mechanisms of this chondroprotective effect remains unknown, and the activation of cartilage derived endogenous stem cells is suspected. The participants have experien ...
