The Chondral Research Project’s (RESTORE) Illustrated Facts Series
Database of Chondral Lesions Under Development
In the frame of the EU project RESTORE, Reykjavik University is developing the 1st European database of chondral lesions’ morphometric and associated 3D models by gathering and processing CT and MRI data from patients suffering from degenerative and traumatic cartilage. This work will serve as a benchmark for bioprinting of synthetic cartilage and for understanding the quantitative […]
3D Bioprinting Chondrocytes to Generate Functional Articular Cartilage
Figure 1. Cell analysis of two sectionsof a rat knee (Tibia and Femur), stained for collagen type II (yellow) and cell nuclei (blue). The aim of the EU funded project RESTORE is to treat osteoarthritis (OA) by generating functional cartilage through 3D bioprinting chondrocytes technology. A Swedish research team within RESTORE has now achieved a […]
In Vivo Assessment Of Articular Cartilage Repair With Nanoenabled COPLA® Scaffolds
Brinter as a member of the RESTORE project is striving to utilize 3D bioprinting in chondral repairment. RESTORE aims to develop a smart nanobiomaterial-based solution capable to modulate the articular cartilage microenvironment from a state of limited capacity of repair towards one that enables true regeneration of both tissue structure and function. One approach is […]
Biomechanical Mapping Provides New Insights into Cartilage Degeneration
Millions of people worldwide are affected by osteoarthritis (OA), occurring due to the wear down of protective cartilage that cushions the end of bones. Cartilage is a firm, slippery tissue that enables nearly frictionless joint motion. Although osteoarthritis can damage any joint, the disorder most commonly affects joints in your hands, knees, hips and spine. […]
Advances in Cartilage Tissue Engineering Research
Our partners from the RESTORE project have recently published an article titled “Design and development of poly-L/D-lactide copolymer and barium titanate nanoparticle 3D composite scaffolds using breath figure method for tissue engineering applications” in the journal Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces. The study shows that barium titanate nanoparticles (BTNP) can be combined with poly-L/D-lactide copolymer […]
Jakajima 3D Bioprinting Conference Presentations Now Available
The 3D Bioprinting Conference is part of the 3D Medical Printing Series organized and initiated by Jakajima. It all started in 2014. Brinter Ltd’s Product Manager Sanna Turunen gave a presentation in the online 3D Bioprinting conference 2021 edition on the topic “Restore project, User-centred smart nanobiomaterial-based 3D matrices for chondral repair”. Now most of […]
