Abstract
BIOBOS proposes to obtain a proof of concept for the use of nanostructured biomimetic materials as a new strategy for the treatment of bone metastases and soft tissue tumors. The approach is based on the coupling of materials with regenerative ability with antitumor and anti-inflammatory agents to be applied as grafts to heal and regenerate metastatic bone tissue in operable and not operable patients and soft tissue tumors in operable patients with primary or metastatic lesions
Goals
CNR will generate and characterize nanostructured biomimetic devices.
