Abstract: A biomaterial, particularly for tissue regeneration, includes an open, porous bioresorbable first material portion and a second material portion that is stiffer than the first material portion, wherein the volume fraction of the stiffer material is less than 30% of the total volume of the biomaterial, and the structural stiffness of the second material portion is at least 10 times greater than that of the first material portion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device comprising: i) a sample-receiving unit (20), said sample-receiving unit (20) comprising a cavity (24) for receiving sample material, means (22) for applying pressure in a regulatable and/or controllable fashion to sample material located in the cavity, and an outlet (25), said outlet (25) being disposed and designed in such a way that, by actuating the means (22) for applying pressure in a regulatable and/or controllable fashion, components of the sample material can be transferred from the cavity (24) through the outlet (25) and directly to an analysis unit (30) connectable to the outlet (25); and ii) an analysis unit (30), said analysis unit (30) comprising an inlet (31), a first filter (32), a reservoir (33) and an analysis track (35), said inlet (31) being designed to be connectable to an outlet (25) of the sample-receiving unit (20) such that components of the sample material can be fed from the sample-receiving unit (20) directly to the analysis unit (30), said first fi
