About GreenNanoBone
While cancer survival rates continue to rise, certain long-term treatment-related complications remain challenging. One of them is Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ), a side effect of bisphosphonates that leads to bone death, infections and ultimately the inability to eat. To prevent and treat this condition, GreenNanoBone will develop a biocompatible, antimicrobial hydrogel from plant-based food industry waste. Designed for injection and 3D printing, it promotes tissue regeneration and reduces antibiotic use. The sustainable approach supports circular economy goals, with the hydrogel expected to reach preclinical validation by project’s end.
