The next generation of medical devices based on biomaterials and cell therapy

Welcome

BIOMATCELL VINN Excellence Center of Biomaterials and Cell Therapy is a 10-year research programme, co-funded by VINNOVA, University of Gothenburg and 12 other partner organizations.

BIOMATCELL combines the expertise of materials science and medical devices, with state-of-the art and emerging knowledge of biological components, including stem cells, for generating new scientific knowledge, product ideas and clinical therapies in the international fore-front of regenerative medicine. The research profile is truly interdisciplinary, spanning from atomic scale synthesis and characterization of materials, via molecular and cell biology, to the clinical disciplines.
 

Recent findings and results

Recently, researchers at BIOMATCELL have found that the complement activation ability of TiO2 on titanium implants can be deminished by mild heat treatment or UV/Ozone treatment. The findings have been accepted for publication in the journal "Biomaterials".
