Targeted growth factor delivery using natural polysaccharide materials for bone regeneration

该提案解决了纳米生物材料能够促进骨骼生长和提供更好和更完整的骨折愈合的核心问题。澳大利亚将首先受益于改善健康结果，提供基于材料的解决方案，以解决缓慢或无法愈合的骨折，这在澳大利亚老龄化人口中越来越普遍。这将对澳大利亚经济有进一步的好处，提高生活质量，使人们能够工作更长时间，减少进一步手术干预的需要。该提案还将通过培训该领域的未来研究人员对澳大利亚有利，这反过来又将通过澳大利亚工业的发展提供经济增长。

This proposal addresses the core issue of nano-biomaterials capable of encouraging bone growth and providing better and more complete healing of bone fractures. Australia will benefit firstly through improved health outcomes by providing material-based solutions to address slow or non-healing fractures, which are increasingly prevalent in the aging population in Australia. This will have a further benefit to the Australian economy improving the quality of life enabling people to work longer and reducing the need for further surgical intervention. This proposal will also have benefits to Australia through training future researchers in this field which will in turn provide economic growth through the development of Australian industries.
