Electrobone

Acronym Electrobone Title Electroconductive scaffolds combined with biomimetic bioreactors for improved bone investigation and regeneration Summary

The rising prevalence of non-union fractures and delayed bone healing in aging populations highlights the urgent need for advanced bone regeneration strategies. Standard treatments remain inadequate, while bone tissue engineering (BTE), integrating cells, biomaterials, and physical stimuli, offers a promising solution. The ELECTROBONE project aims to investigate, for the first time, the potential synergistic effect of combining electroconductive scaffolds and non-invasive pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) stimulation, a clinically established approach for enhancing fracture healing. Through a multidisciplinary collaboration, 3D electroconductive scaffolds will be developed, seeded with human mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (hMSCs), and cultured in a biomimetic bioreactor. This will enable the in vitro investigation of the combined effects of electroconductive materials and PEMF stimulation on bone regeneration under bone-like conditions. This project will establish an outstanding multidisciplinary research network, driving high-impact publications, joint proposals, young researcher development, and public engagement—advancing both research and clinical strategies for bone repair.
