Highlights
The projects and results that we have obtained along 2016 are related to the analysis of the characteristics of the surfaces, especially those more directly related to the microbiological colonization. At present, it is getting materials that improve the capabilities of implants and prostheses, by better cellular responses to them, but, in return, tend to favour the development of infections, if they get contaminated with bacteria. The materials on which we are working, in collaboration with the group FIOBI-la Paz, are being designed to seek the maximum synergy between both effects, improvement in cellular response and prevention of bacterial colonization in case of contamination. We are performing different non-trivial analyses on the response material-microorganisms, under different conditions, simulating the actual situations of possible contaminations. We also progress in the control of the optimal characteristics of the degradation of our materials and in the characterization of alternative materials to the conventional ones, for the reduction of infections. The research is carried out thanks to the funding obtained in national calls, both projects and networks, European, and by collaboration with companies of the sector. We also participated in several intramural projects and also, independently, collaborated with other CIBER groups in the characterization of different materials.
