Research and development

They can also remodel biological implants to create a physiological abdominal wall.

However, an abnormal high level of MMPs can induce an unwanted fast implant degradation. In addition, on septic sites, proteases are produced by bacteria that further degrade ECM molecules, interfering with the physiological implant integration. Thus, the MMPs level plays a crucial role in the integration of the implant. To address this issue, we are working with a scientific committee to develop next generation of biomaterials that will help to treat complex pathologies where tissue and cellular engineering could meet unsatisfied medical needs.
