BioTex Projects

 

Here you will find our projects sorted by topicality:

 

NeWTranslation

New Ways to accelerate Translation - Bridging academic and industrial research for optimal translation into clinic. NeWTranslation

 

The Breathing Gut

Enteral CO₂ elimination in the treatment of chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure. The beathing Gut

 

EndoSpray

Efficient cell coating of biohybrid lungs by atomization of shear-stress resistant endothelial cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells. EndoSpray

 

EndOxy-InFlame

Influence of a biohybrid lung on inflammatory pathways and immune system endothelial cell interaction. EndOxy in Flame

 

Optimize

The Optimize project aims to develop an innovative implant for the treatment of hyperplastic left heart syndrome.

 

BioV²alve

BioV²alve deals with the development of biohybrid venous valves for minimal invasive treatment of chronic veneous insufficiency.

 

FibroGraft

The FibroGraft project focuses on the use of naturally dissolved silk fibroins in materials technology and the creation of different fibroin composites for tissue engineering.

 

Fontan

The aim of the project Fontan is to improve the quality of life and prevent morbidity and mortality in patients in the Fontan circulation. This is to be achieved by generating an autologous, flap-bearing, contractile conduit in the sense of a subpulmonary neo-ventricle.

 

pHMed

The project pHMed researchs solution spun PLA fibres with pH-neutral degradation characteristics.

 

PulmoStent

To improve life quality of lung cancer patients we develop the PulmoStent, a biohybrid respiratory stent.

 

Cellspraying

In the CellSpray project, we are working on the application of an innovatice spraying process for local cell therapy of the lungs.

 

EndOxy

In the EndOxy project we are developing a biohybrid lung that enables patients with life-threatening lung failure to receive long-term lung support.

 

BioPacer

The BioPacer project is developing a biological pacemaker for babies and children.Traditional pacemakers are too big for the chest.The "BioPacer" consists of a small cylinder that is populated with endogenous cells of the heart-sick child and cultivated in a bioreactor. It will treat heart rhythm disorders.

 

TracheaPrint

We are developing a fully functional windpipe with capillary-like structures in the TracheaPrint project.

 

E-Suture

The E-Suture project is investigating the use of tension-optimising materials and yarn structures as surgical suture material.

 

Implant Monitoring

The aim of the Implant Monitoring project is to establish longitudinal monitoring of tissue maturation and to validate it in animal experiments. To this end, an understanding of the biological dynamics of the insertion and remodelling process of biohybrid cardiovascular implants will be gained using the example of the geometrically simple vascular prosthesis. In order to investigate the interactions between (i) biomaterial, (ii) cellular components and (iii) implant environment non-invasively, methods of hybrid MR-PET and molecular ultrasound imaging will be investigated and tested.

 

FilaMem

Development of biofunctional hybrid membranes for permanent implant materials FilaMem.
