Title

NAno to MAcro BIOmaterials (design, processing, characterization, modeling) and applications to stem cells regenerative orthopedic and dental medicine

Regenerative medicine is a new discipline based on biomaterial development and increasing knowledge in cell science, related to biomaterials and stem cells for the regenerative medicine (bone & teeth). The consortium’s research efforts focused on the following activities: (a)processing of innovative biomaterials (b) chemical, physical and mechanical characterization (c) modeling of physical and mechanical properties (d) stem cells loading on biomaterials, implantation on animals, and histological and molecular evaluation (e) 3D structural characterization of tissue engineered bones and teeth by X-ray synchrotron microtomography (or holotomography) (f) Biomedical evaluation of the results obtained in (e).
