In 2022 our research group has continued working in bone regeneration with advanced cell therapy. We finished the first stage of our collaboration with a private entity studying 3D printed cultured stem cells in a sheep bone defect model. Our research group was conceded a FIS research grant to study a tissue engineering allograft cell product for focal cartilage lesions. In our clinical international collaboration we completed the Parity study with its publication in the prestigious JAMA Oncology. In continuation with our international osthopaedic oncology research collaboration our reasearch group has also completed started the participation in the SAFETY trial, evaluating clincial and radiological follow up of sarcoma patients.
