When one’s own body is no longer capable of regenerating the bone defects it suffers, fitting compatible, biodegradable structures that can be used as temporary scaffolding in the damaged tissues is, as a general rule, very helpful. The NanoBioCel group in the UPV/EHU’s Faculty of Pharmacy has led the development of one of these scaffolds, which apart from physical support, also offers the chance to release growth factors, thus imitating the way in which the body does this.

The NanoBioCel group in the UPV/EHU’s Faculty of Pharmacy has developed a scaffolds, or matrices, for cases of critical bone defects, like those that can generate themselves in situations such as burns...
