“It is made up of graphene-based materials (GBM) in combination with decellularised tissue derived from human adipose tissue.”
The innovative feature of the biomaterial consists of a scaffold for implantation at the point of traumatic injury
This is a large-scale European Union scientific research initiative organised by the Future and Emerging Technologies programme, together with the Human Brain Project and the flagship of Quantum Technologies. TECNALIA is part of this NeuroStimSpinal initiative, in which we are working on spinal cord regeneration, through an innovative biomaterial charged with cells and sensitive to stimulation, capable of repairing the SCI nerve tissue.
This biomaterial is made up of graphene-based materials (GBM) in combination with decellularised tissue derived from human adipose tissue (adECM). This tissue encourages the growth and reconnection of broken nerves.
Benefits of the Graphene Flagship initiative
The European Graphene Flagship initiative facilitates new opportunities for technological collaboration between project partners, coverage and dissemination of NeuroStimSpinal's research results, and the opportunity to attend a series of activities.
TECNALIA has been a participating partner of the Graphene Flagship initiative since 2014, developing research projects in the field of new graphene-based materials for application in water treatment and desalination processes using capacitive deionisation technology (CDI).
