Progentix : Bone repair technology

Bone repair technology

By combining cell technology and biomaterial technology, bone tissue engineering is expected to overcome the limitations of all currently used bone grafts. The below schematic visualizes Progentix' Bone Repair Technology.

Bone Repair Scheme

Progentix' scientists have shown that the choice of scaffold (biomaterial technology) is crucial for successful bone tissue engineering and they have furthermore shown proof-of-concept in pre-clinical studies.

Bone formation after 12-week intramuscular implantation in goats of non-osteoinductive HA (A, no bone formation), non-osteoinductive HA with in vitro expanded goat bone marrow stromal cells (B, no bone formation), osteoinductive BCP (C, small amount of bone formation) and osteoinductive BCP with in vitro expanded goat bone marrow stromal cells (D, ample bone formation). Undecalcified sections, methylene blue and basic fuchsin staining; HA: hydroxyapatite, BCP: biphasic calcium phosphate.
