The Institute for Hygiene and Biotechnology's new results may be used in future approaches in regenerative medicine. Implants colonised with a patient's stem cells could serve as biologic textile implants (e.g. hernia mesh implants) that can be integrated into the patient's body more quickly and without rejection in order to regenerate damaged tissues. The system applied at Hohenstein also makes it possible to gain insights into many other aspects of circulation in textile implants and routinely optimise these implants for medical use. This is an important milestone in the further development of textile regenerative medicine. The researchers at Hohenstein intend to publish their results in a specialist scientific journal.
