ALBUCOL project meeting at the NMI

Fifteen participants in the ALBUCOL project from southwestern Germany, France, and Switzerland met yesterday (October 1) at the NMI to discuss the current status and next steps in the project.

The goal of ALBUCOL is to develop improved materials for repairing bone and cartilage damage. Materials used to date have major disadvantages, such as insufficient strength and quality fluctuations between batches. Hope now lies in the two proteins albumin and collagen, which are natural biomaterials.
