Our @horizoneu.bsky.social team is working on solutions to implant-associated infections from a new perspective. 🦠✨

We are developing bio-hydrogels that, when applied on infections, transform bacteria into a source for producing beneficial proteins.

She explained how she and her team at CNR-IPCB are “developing hydrogels containing bioactive solid signals to enhance bone regeneration. These hydrogels will be further enriched with genetic carriers that will turn biofilm-associated bacteria into a bio-factory for tissue regeneration.” 🦴🔄

What a fantastic opportunity to present the positive impact that Engineered Living Materials can bring to healthcare! 👏🇪🇺

PRISM-LT @prism-livingtissues.eu · Apr 30

Engineered Living Materials were on the EU policy map at the Advanced Materials for Health workshop in Braga, thanks to the @ec.europa.eu’s Technology Council and @inl.int! 🇵🇹

From regenerative medicine to smart medical devices, ELMs offer capabilities that non-living materials can’t match.

Indeed, it was great to have so many of our consortium members joining this first-of-its-kind meeting! 🙌

This workshop allowed us to question classification, approval pathways, and compliance challenges unique to ELMs, such as the bio hydrogels we are developing! 💧⚙️

We hope it’s the first of many!

PRISM-LT @prism-livingtissues.eu · Feb 13

This was also a great opportunity to connect with the other projects from the EIC ELM’s Portfolio: BioRobot-MiniHeart, LoopOfFun, @nextskins.bsky.social, ENLOGHT, @bioaction.eu, and REMEDY! 🇪🇺🗂️
