Tissue Regeneration/Tissue Engineering
Tissue Regeneration/Tissue Engineering
The Cluster for Tissue Regeneration consists of the following four subdivisions in musculoskeletal research.

Cartilage/Tendon Regeneration
Research is dedicated to the improvement of post-trauma regeneration through combinations of cells, biomaterials and growth factors, and also mechanical stimulation. The objective is to test new methods and their transition to clinical application, using primarily imaging techniques for quality control.
Neuroregeneration
The neuroregeneration team concerns itself with developments and improvements in the post-injury regeneration of the central (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system and searches for possibilites of future applications of these methods to head injury patients.

Hemostasis/Soft Tissue Therapy
The research objectives are to stop bleeding associated with trauma and to regenerate damaged tissue.

Bone Regeneration
Research consists of the development of new, and improvement of on-going, treatment techniques (replacement materials and implantation surfaces) and the examination of current therapeutic concepts in regards to their efficiency and ethical justifiability in practice. This work is supported by rudimentary research and optimized biomechanical and histological methods.
Imaging Techniques
To profit from the infrastructure and know-how of the institutions involved in the Cluster for Tissue Regeneration, a virtual center for pre-clinical imaging techniques (optical, X-ray, magnetic resonance) was built. Multiple aspects of a project can be simultaneously developed and long-term profiles created.
