Project B2 (completed)
Characterization of callus tissue within systemically altered bone
Biocompatibility of any medical device requires that the materials are in accordance with their microenvironment. An important prerequisite is the knowledge about cells and soluble factors predominating within the systemically altered tissue – especially as the surfaces of bone substitutes and implants already interact at the moment of implantation with the environment of the host bone. Therefore, investigations of cytokines (i.e. interleukins), extracellular matrix proteins and factors regulating bone metabolism will be performed in the present project. The results will provide the basis for generating materials characterized by a high degree of biocompatibility especially of materials generated for the systemically altered bone.
