Medical Technologies Innovation and Knowledge Centre Phase 2 Regenerative Devices
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Leeds
Department Name: Mechanical Engineering
Abstract
Regenerative devices (scaffolds, biomaterials and interventions) which can repair and regenerate tissues using the patients` own cells, can be translated into successful clinical products and deliver patient benefit at much lower cost and risk and in shorter timescales then other regenerative therapies such as culture expanded cell therapies or molecular (drug) therapies. It is estimated that the global market for regenerative devices will grow to £50bn by 2020 and this offers a real opportunity to grow a £1bn per year industry in the UK in this field.
The UK has genuine research strengths in the areas of biomaterials and tissue engineering, musculoskeletal mechanics (prioritised by EPSRC) and regenerative medicine. Regenerative medicine is one of the eight great technologies prioritised across the Research Councils. Research discoveries, new knowledge, outputs and outcomes are often not ready for uptake by industry to take forward through product development to the market and patient benefit. New technologies need to be advanced and de-risked. The clinical needs, potential products and markets need to be defined in order to make them attractive for investment, product development and clinical trials by industry.
In the Medical Technologies Innovation and Knowledge Centre (MTIKC) Phase 1, working with industry and clinical partners, we have developed a professional innovation team and a unique innovation and translation process, creating a multidisciplinary research and innovation ecosystem. We have successfully identified research outcomes and new knowledge and created, advanced and translated technology across the innovation valley of death, enabling successful investment (over £100m) by industry and the private sector in new product development. Some products have already progressed to clinical trials and commercialisation and are realising patient benefits. We have established a continuous innovation pipeline of over fifty proofs of concept technology projects.
Over the next five years in MTIKC Phase 2, we will address unmet clinical needs and market opportunities in wound repair, cardiovascular repair, musculoskeletal tissue repair, maxillofacial reconstruction, dental reconstruction and general surgery and diversify our research supply chain to over ten other Universities. We will support 150 collaborative projects with industry and initiate forty new industry inspired and academically led proof of concept projects, which are predicted to lead to a further £100m investment by the private sector in subsequent product development. This will enable a sustainable research and product development pipeline to be established in the UK which will support a £1bn / year industry in regenerative devices beyond 2020.

Planned Impact
Economic impact: MTIKC will support the development of a £1bn /year industry in UK, addressing an emergent global market in regenerative devices estimated at £50bn /year. MTIKC will take research outputs at technology readiness level (TRL) 2 and translate them across the innovation valley of death at TRLs 3 and 4. This will be achieved by advancing and de-risking the technology, and defining clinical needs, products, markets and private sector partners to invest in new product development at TRLs 5 to 9 and translate to clinical trials and market. To date MTIKC Phase 1 has demonstrated over £100m direct and indirect private sector investment in the private sector and MTIKC Phase 2 will lead to public and private sector investments in R & D in the UK to support the development and sustainability of a £1bn industry in regenerative devices. The pathway to economic impact includes a strategically focused research and innovation ecosystem based on more than ten Universities in the UK, a dedicated professional innovation team, strong collaborative networks with academia, industry, investors, clinicians, regulators, and NHS and Government agencies. Translation of technology involves a strong multidisciplinary research supply chain, a robust and validated stage-gated innovation process and industry inspired and academically led proof of concept projects, support for patenting, licensing creation, development of spinouts and support for industry collaborations and partnering.
Clinical patient and societal benefits: Society, patients and healthcare providers will benefit from more effective, reliable and cost effective regenerative devices and interventions which address the needs of stratified patient populations with greater levels of precision. Technologies and products supported in the early phases of MTIKC Phase 1, such as self-assembling peptides, acellular human donor tissues and biological scaffolds are already in the market or clinical trials. Enabling technologies- simulation technologies are being used extensively in product development programmes and introduced as international standards. Other new products, technologies and services which will flow from MTIKC by 2020 and beyond.
Transfer of highly trained innovative people and high level skills: Translation and innovation of emergent technologies needs the development and transfer highly skilled people. Technology and scientific training plus innovation and broader skills training is delivered by MTIKC to PhDs through CDTs, to PDRAs through career development programmes and to the wider academic community through specialised workshops. Greater than 75% of our doctoral researchers progress to careers outside academia, with a strong flow of people to our collaborators. Effective collaborative working with industry, either through 300 collaborative projects and 90 POC projects allows the transfer of essential knowledge and skills from university to industry partners. This is supplemented by specialised consultancy advice and access to specialist equipment and skills to industry.
Creation of a more effective pathway for clinical innovation and translation: MTIKC is working with LTHT and LMBRU (see letters of support) on projects to support clinical translation by engaging and training clinical academics and NHS clinicians in early translation. These are important skills and experiences not usually available in the NHS.
Public and patient engagement and influencing policy: This is undertaken collaboratively with NHS, LTHT and LMBRU through their active PPI group. Direct activities with the public are undertaken by the university, with activities in local schools, local and national science fairs. The investigators are also active nationally in both RAEng and EPSRC and regionally in LEP in advising and acting as advocates for the importance of science and innovation.

| Title | Dataset supporting the publication "Importance of dynamics in the finite element prediction of plastic damage of polyethylene acetabular liners under edge loading conditions" |
| Description | This dataset contains the full set of output values from a modelling study, summarised as follows. After hip replacement, in cases where there is instability at the joint, contact between the femoral head and the acetabular liner can move from the bearing surface to the liner rim, generating edge loading conditions. This has been linked to polyethylene liner fracture and led to the development of a regulatory testing standard (ISO 14242:4) to replicate these conditions. Performing computational modelling alongside simulator testing can provide insight into the complex damage mechanisms present in hard-on-soft bearings under edge loading. The aim of this work was to evaluate the need for inertia and elastoplastic material properties to predict kinematics (likelihood of edge loading) and plastic strain accumulation (as a damage indicator). While a static, rigid model was sufficient to predict kinematics for experimental test planning, the inclusion of inertia, alongside elastoplastic material, was required for prediction of plastic strain behaviour. The delay in device realignment during heel strike, caused by inertia, substantially increased the force experienced during rim loading (e.g. 600 N static rigid, ~1800 N dynamic elastoplastic, in one case). The accumulation of plastic strain is influenced by factors including cup orientation, swing phase force balance, the moving mass, and the design of the device itself. Evaluation of future liner designs could employ dynamic elastoplastic models to investigate the effect of design feature changes on bearing resilience under edge loading. |

| Title | Dataset supporting the publication 'A Comprehensive Combined Experimental and Computational Framework for Pre-clinical Wear Simulation of Total Knee Replacements' |
| Description | A more robust pre-clinical wear simulation framework is required in order to simulate wider and higher ranges of activities, observed in different patient populations such as younger more active patients. Such a framework will help to understand and address the reported higher failure rates for younger and more active patients (National_Joint_Registry, 2016). The current study has developed and validated a comprehensive combined experimental and computational framework for pre-clinical wear simulation of total knee replacements (TKR). The input mechanical (elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio) and wear parameters and of the moderately cross-linked ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) bearing material were independently measured from experimental studies under realistic test conditions, similar to the loading conditions found in the total knee replacements.. The wear predictions from the computational wear simulation were validated against the direct experimental wear measurements for size 3 Sigma curved total knee replacements (DePuy, UK) in an independent experimental wear simulation study under three different daily activities; walking, deep squat, and stairs ascending kinematic conditions. The measured compressive mechanical properties of the moderately cross-linked UHMWPE material were more than 20% lower than that reported in the literature under tensile test conditions. The pin-on-plate wear coefficient of moderately cross-linked UHMWPE was significantly dependant of the contact stress and the degree of cross-shear at the articulating surfaces. The computational wear predictions for the TKR from the current framework were consistent and in a good agreement with the independent full TKR experimental wear simulation measurements, with 0.94 coefficient of determination of the framework. In addition, the comprehensive combined experimental and computational framework was able to explain the complex experimental wear trends from the three different daily activities investigated. Therefore, such a framework can be adopted as a pre-clinical simulation approach to optimise different designs, materials, as well as patient's specific total knee replacements for a range of activities. |

| Title | Dataset supporting the publication 'A comparison between electromechanical and pneumatic controlled knee simulators for the investigation of wear of total knee replacements' |
| Description | More robust pre-clinical experimental wear simulation methods are required in order to simulate a wider range of activities, observed in different patient populations such as younger more active patients, as well as fully meeting and being capable of going well beyond the existing requirements of the relevant international standards. A new six station electromechanically driven simulator (Simulation Solutions, UK) with five fully independently controlled axes of articulation for each station, capable of replicating deep knee bending as well as other adverse conditions, which can be operated in either force or displacement control with improved input kinematic following, has been developed to meet these requirements. This study investigated the wear of a fixed bearing total knee replacement using this electromechanically driven fully independent knee simulator, and compared it to previous data from a predominantly pneumatically controlled simulator in which each station was not fully independently controlled. In addition, the kinematic performance and the repeatability of the simulators have been investigated and compared to the international standard requirements. The wear rates from the electromechanical and pneumatic knee simulators were not significantly different, with wear rates of 2.6 ± 0.9 and 2.7 ± 0.9 [mm3/MC] (mean ± 95% CI, p=0.99) and 5.4 ± 1.4 and 6.7 ± 1.5 [mm3/MC] (mean ± 95% CI, p=0.54) from the electromechanical and pneumatic simulators, under intermediate levels (maximum 5 mm) and high levels (maximum 10 mm) of AP displacements respectively. However, the output kinematic profiles of the control system, which drives the motion of the simulator followed the input kinematic profiles more closely on the electromechanical simulator than the pneumatic simulator. In addition, the electromechanical simulator was capable of following kinematic and loading input cycles within the tolerances of the international standard requirements (ISO 14243-3, 2014). The new generation electromechanical knee simulator with fully independent control has the potential to be used for a much wider range of kinematic conditions, including high-flexion and other severe conditions, due to its improved capability and performance in comparison to the previously used pneumatic controlled simulators. |

| Title | Dataset supporting the publication 'Dynamic finite element analysis of hip replacement edge loading: balancing precision and run time in a challenging model' |
| Description | This dataset contains the full set of output values from a modelling study, summarised as follows. An important aspect in evaluating the resilience of hip replacement designs is testing their performance under adverse conditions that cause edge loading of the acetabular liner. The representation of edge loading conditions in computational models is computationally challenging, however, due to the changing contact locations, need for mesh refinement, and dynamic nature of the system. In the associated paper, an initial starting point for finite element modelling of this type of testing was developed. This consisted of recommendations for aspects such as the element type and shape, and to set up the head as the translating component and fix the liner using boundary conditions. It also included recommendations for element sizing for the bulk of the liner and the contacted rim, and a mass-scaling target time increment for the elements of the liner. In the paper we present a relatively clean sensitivity study to justify these choices and describe the sensitivity of results around them so that someone putting together a new model can hopefully do so far more quickly. There was a large amount of underpinning sensitivity testing, however, which was less structured but important for getting to this final recommendation. This data packet therefore contains results from two preliminary load cases (A and B) as well as the data used in the supported paper (case C). |

| Title | Drug loading capacity of microporous ß-pyrophosphate crystals - dataset |
| Description | Periodontitis and peri-implantitis are two characteristic examples where bacterial infections compromise the healing of dental tissues. Drug eluting scaffolds are a potential solution to this problem but their fabrication requires suitable biomaterials with significant drug loading capacity and regenerative potential to support new tissue formation. With this aim, porous ß-pyrophosphate crystals having a micro-pore area of 2.59 m2/g and an average pore diameter of 65 nm, have been obtained by the heat treatment of brushite (at 780 oC). To demonstrate the drug loading potential of the mineral, experiments with chloramphenicol have been conducted. After tests with four common bacteria, the drug loaded mineral was shown to have enhanced antibacterial properties, particularly towards E. coli (74% growth inhibition) and S. aureus (48% growth inhibition). Taking into account ß-pyrophosphate's significant role in hard tissue mineralisation and the capability to tailor crystal micro-porosity characteristics by controlled heat treatment, the mineral can be considered as an ideal biomaterial for localised drug delivery in dental applications. |

| Title | POC052- Perry |
| Description | Osteoarthritis is a painful condition that affects joints, where the surfaces within the joints become damaged so they don't move as smoothly as they should. The most commonly identified cause of osteoarthritis in patients under 60 years old is a condition called developmental dysplasia of the hip, where the hip doesn't develop properly from birth. However, if diagnosed early, this condition is easily treatable and can prevent osteoarthritis from developing later in life. The SHINE study: Screening The Hips In NEwborns aims to develop an acoustic test to detect developmental dysplasia of the hip in newborn babies. |

There was much interest in our research area, and several patients had ankle problems or total ankle replacement. It was hoped there would be some engagement around informing future research directions, although it was clear the patients were less familiar with engineering research. Subsequently I have been awarded an internal engagement fellowship from the university specifically to develop stronger links with the ankle patient group, and to start a dialogue between the research group and patients to have better communication and understanding between the two. |

| Results and Impact | The event will: 1) Evidence the scale and breadth of the University's contribution at a national and international level and to demonstrate how this translates into the contribution made to the economy of the City Region (in both absolute and proportionate terms) using a specially commissioned piece of research • Demonstrate tangible examples of the breadth of the University's impact using selected examples of both current and past activity, accessible for a non-academic audience and in so doing positively impact perceptions of the University's scale, breadth and excellence • Showcase specific examples of major new initiatives designed to increase the University's future impact, with the focus being at a regional level (but making it clear that these are nationally and internationally significant activities) - examples would include the North East Quarter, the Academic Health Partnerships, the Cultural Institute and the University Innovation and Enterprise Centre (UIEC); • Set this in the context of the University's strategic ambition • Showcase broader University and campus developments including the campus master plan 2. The event will be positioned as the first of a series of activities that will form a coherent strategy for external stakeholder engagement designed to increase the effectiveness with which the University engages with key stakeholders on a City, regional, national and international basis. Desired Outcomes: To positively impact existing perceptions of key stakeholders so that they gain a sense of the scale, substance and breadth of the University's relative contribution to the region set in the context of its national and global impact. Internationally significant work has a direct regional relevance and impact. This in turn should help support the University and the City and region to work together to maximise the opportunities for funding designed to support local and regional economic growth. |

| Results and Impact | Key Focus To discover how to harness the immune system for improved outcomes in regenerative medicine. Aims and objectives: Our collective knowledge and shared experimental tools will be used to answer three key questions in regenerative medicine; 1. How do differentiated cells signal to the host innate and adaptive immune system? 2. How do transplanted cells provoke adaptive immune responses? 3. How does the inflammatory niche contribute to endogenous repair and influence the fate of transplanted cells? Key translational challenges to be addressed: The central goal of regenerative medicine is to replace damaged or diseased tissue. This can potentially be achieved by stimulating endogenous tissue repair or by transplanting autologous or allogeneic cells. No matter which strategy is taken, host immune responses can represent a formidable obstacle to success. Unless autologous cells are used, transplanted cells will have different degrees of major histocompatibility antigen (MHC) mismatch with the recipient and will thus be at risk of rejection by the adaptive immune system. Even when donor and recipient are matched for the MHC, antigen-independent inflammatory pathways (the innate immune system) modulate endogenous repair and can hinder donor cell engraftment. By modulating different aspects of the immune system we intend to improve the efficacy of regenerative medicine therapies. Expected outcomes: Our long-term clinical deliverables include: improved efficacy of photoreceptor cell therapy to treat blindness; improved repair of damaged heart tissue; and improved survival and functionality of transplanted hepatocytes as an alternative to liver transplantation. |
