Intelligent Materials To Regenerate Bone Tissue More than half a
million Europeans suffer from disorders in or serious defects of
some part of their bone structure. So, graft or implant
operations needed to repair the damage depend decisively on the
materials used. The Nanobiocom project, funded under the EU's
Sixth Framework Programme (FP6), is working on the regeneration
and repair of bone tissue. Its aim is to come up with a
substitute for bone tissue that can repair the bone and
regenerate it in such a way that it will be able to carry out
similar functions to those in its natural state. In the case of
significant deterioration of the bone, it may be necessary for
the implant to provide both functional and physiological
properties of the damaged item. In such circumstances, the bone
implants have to comply with certain requisites capable of
contributing to a reconstruction of the deterio
