Short description (German)

Investigation et étude de la biocompabilité d'une nouvelle mactice extra cellulaire pour la reconstruction des cartilages hyalins.

Short description (English)

Investigation and biocompatiblity study of a new extra cellular matrix for the reconstruction of hyaline cartilage.

Abstract (German)

The current surgical treatment of cartilage defects is exclusively based on the implantation of solid matrix pieces. The project will investigate the use of a two components paste solidifying in biocompatible conditions in vivo. The paste constituents are chemically modified biomaterials from mammalians origin and a copolymer made of natural monomers. This will generate an innovative technology to rebuilt rapidly biocompatible matrix with adequate mechanical characteristics.
