Mat(t)isse - 3D matrices for tissue reconstruction, application to breast reconstruction |

| | The MAT(T)ISSE project aims at creating a novel bioprosthesis - class 3 medical implant - the aim of which is to help the human body to restore zones of damaged tissue following curative surgical procedures. Such tissue restoration is made possible through the autologous harvesting of fat cells (adipose tissue), which are reimplanted on a textile structure in the form of a synthetic and resorbable mesh. This structure is combined with a 3D bioresorbable and tailored shell structure that marks out the volume to be reconstructed. The resorbable shell eventually disappears so that the patient recovers a naturally shaped breast thanks to the regeneration of her own cells. For more details... |

QUALIFY - enabling qualification of hybrid structures for lightweight and safe maritime transport |
 | | The advancement in composite materials allows building primary maritime structures traditionally made of steel, e.g. ship superstructure. Steel and composites can be bonded together using adhesives, forming a hybrid (steel-composite) joint. Despite of the many benefits of composite and hybrid joints, the lack of correct guidelines for approval and design has prevented their uptake by the maritime industry, limiting their usage to secondary structures. This is partly because the long term behaviour and failure of hybrid joints is not yet understood. The goal of the EU funded QUALIFY project is to fill this knowledge gap, enabling the development of such guidelines, with the correct objective promote the use of hybrid joints in primary structures in a marine environment.
