Promising new biological technologies in regenerative medicine address cell-based and cell-free approaches by using/mobilizing autologous cells in supportive carrier matrices and the controlled application of growth factors to promote the development of new tissue, such as cartilage or bone.

Common principles in regenerative medicine thus focus on the following essential components: cells, which have to be easy to achieve and have a high differentiation potential, an appropriate carrier for transplantation and/or implantation, and a set of defined bioactive molecules driving the process of tissue formation and maturation.

Our goal is to transfer theory to clinical practice.
