Department/Centre: BIOtech - Center for Biomedical Technologies
Inventors: Devid Maniglio (UniTrento), Walter Bonani (UniTrento)
Fields of use: regeneration of bone tissue
Keywords: porous polymeric scaffolds, tissue engineering, bone tissue regeneration
Bibliographical data: application number: PCT/IB2015/057196; priority date: 25/9/2014; patent granted in Italy
Assignees: Università di Trento
