The journal Materialia has recently published the
outcome of research conducted by a group of researchers including
several from the Department of Physical Chemistry at the UPV-EHU’s
Faculty of Science and Technology and BCMaterials, and others from
centers at the University of Minho (Portugal). In this work the
research group developed a new composite material that can be used
for tissue engineering, specifically for regenerating bone tissue.
“The ultimate goal of this line of research would be to be able to
generate tissue that could then be implanted to treat bone
diseases,” said José Luis Vilas-Vilela, head of the UPV/EHU’s
Department of Physical Chemistry and one of the authors of this
study.
