TEN4CARE Featured by SPRI: Highlighting Smart Implants for Tendon Regeneration
The TEN4CARE project has been featured in a news article published by Grupo SPRI (the Basque Business Development Agency) as part of its initiative highlighting regional innovation and European R&D collaboration.
The feature, titled “El proyecto europeo TEN4CARE desarrolla un implante inteligente para acelerar la regeneración de tejidos en tendinopatías” (“The European TEN4CARE project develops a smart implant to accelerate tissue regeneration in tendinopathies”), highlights the project’s mission to transform musculoskeletal treatment using advanced biomaterials, nanotechnology, and digital tools. It also emphasizes the key role of Basque consortium partner Biokeralty Research Institute within the 16-partner international consortium funded by Horizon Europe.
Highlights from the SPRI Publication
- Smart 4D Nanocomposite Hydrogel: The article details TEN4CARE’s main innovation—a nanocomposite fibrous hydrogel scaffold designed for minimally invasive surgical implantation. The material features shape memory properties, allowing it to recover its pre-programmed 3D structure upon reaching body temperature to mechanically support injured tendon tissue.
- Electromagnetic Stimulation & Drug Delivery: SPRI highlighted the integration of magnetic nanoparticles that respond to external electromagnetic fields to stimulate tissue repair, alongside antimicrobial functionality and controlled anti-inflammatory drug release.
- Industry 4.0 & Digital Twins: The publication notes the project’s use of artificial intelligence, digital twins, and advanced manufacturing (such as centrifugal spinning) to personalize implants based on medical imaging and optimize industrial scaling.
- Support for Regional R&D: The feature underlines the role of Grupo SPRI and the Basque Enterprise Europe Network (EEN Basque) in advising regional entities and fostering international R&D partnerships across Europe.
This recognition by Grupo SPRI reflects TEN4CARE’s commitment to bridging scientific innovation, regional industry, and European healthcare goals.
