Summary:
In tissue engineering (TE) the combined
knowledge from biology and engineering is directed towards the possibility to
restore lost or damaged tissue. The general aim of this project is to
consolidate a cross-disciplinary team of collaborating investigators to carry
out some cell-support constructs (CSC) with possible applications in
regeneration/repair of soft and hard tissues and it does not assume
pre-clinical and clinical trials. This application contains three specific
objectives:
1. Obtainment of new support 3-d structures designed to cultivate osteoblasts and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) to obtain CSCs with characterized architecture and mechanical properties, useful in bone tissue engineering;
2. Development of regeneration strategies of adipose tissue by implantation of preadipocytes in 3-d hydrogel scaffolds, that mimic extracellular matrix, destined to the reconstruction of soft tissue defects (severe traumas, deep burns or tumor resections)
3. Study of the effects of 3-D culture and growth factors on the chondrogenic differentiation of hMSC cells to obtain some investigation models of their potential in cartilage tissue regeneration.
The project presents viability, innovation, complexity and interdisciplinary exchange because:
1. It is a consortium which consists from partners with complementally competences who engage to act as a unity in the following fields: cellular and molecular biology, chemistry and physics of materials, engineering sciences – in order to get all objectives;
2. The partners are staffs with a good, strong reputation on their field, and they have the necessary managerial experience as well as the human resources and performing equipment
3. The partnership was partially consolidated during previous collaborations and which sustain it. Accomplishment of the objectives of this project constitutes a scientific challenge for any scientific team around the world.
