In the field of nanotechnology, carbon nanotubes (CNT) have shown outstanding promise for the improvement of neuronal function in vitro and are thus ideal candidates for repairing or ameliorating spinal defects a",200,{"programme":8,"total":982,"withPiName":983,"firstYear":984,"lastYear":985,"countryCount":986,"perYear":987,"topInstitutions":1063,"topCountries":1139},26094,19,1988,2027,53,[988,990,993,996,999,1002,1005,1008,1011,1014,1017,1020,1023,1026,1029,1032,1034,1037,1040,1043,1046,1049,1052,1055,1058,1061],{"year":984,"count":989},1,{"year":991,"count":992},2003,74,{"year":994,"count":995},2004,586,{"year":997,"count":998},2005,868,{"year":1000,"count":1001},2006,641,{"year":1003,"count":1004},2007,553,{"year":1006,"count":1007},2008,591,{"year":1009,"count":1010},2009,712,{"year":1012,"count":1013},2010,787,{"year":1015,"count":1016},2011,838,{"year":1018,"count":1019},2012,901,{"year":1021,"count":1022},2013,1005,{"year":1024,"count":1025},2014,1009,{"year":1027,"count":1028},2015,1232,{"year":1030,"count":1031},2016,1231,{"year":13,"count":1033},1209,{"year":1035,"count":1036},2018,1353,{"year":1038,"count":1039},2019,1340,{"year":1041,"count":1042},2020,1314,{"year":1044,"count":1045},2021,1688,{"year":1047,"count":1048},2022,1362,{"year":1050,"count":1051},2023,1495,{"year":1053,"count":1054},2024,1522,{"year":1056,"count":1057},2025,1781,{"year":1059,"count":1060},2026,1532,{"year":985,"count":1062},396,[1064,1067,1070,1073,1076,1079,1082,1085,1088,1091,1094,1097,1100,1103,1106,1109,1112,1115,1118,1121,1124,1127,1130,1133,1136],{"name":1065,"count":1066},"Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique CNRS",790,{"name":1068,"count":1069},"The Chancellor Masters and Scholars of the University of Cambridge",636,{"name":1071,"count":1072},"Kobenhavns Universitet",614,{"name":1074,"count":1075},"Chancellor, Masters and Scholars of the University of Oxford",579,{"name":1077,"count":1078},"Agencia Estatal Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas",484,{"name":1080,"count":1081},"Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine",428,{"name":1083,"count":1084},"Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Forderung der Wissenschaften Ev",383,{"name":1086,"count":1087},"University of London",347,{"name":1089,"count":1090},"Katholieke Universiteit Leuven",280,{"name":1092,"count":1093},"The University of Birmingham",247,{"name":1095,"count":1096},"Eidgenoessische Technische Hochschule Zuerich",224,{"name":1098,"count":1099},"Aarhus Universitet",220,{"name":1101,"count":1102},"Universita Ca' Foscari  Venezia",219,{"name":1104,"count":1105},"University of Bristol",213,{"name":1107,"count":1108},"Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne",182,{"name":1110,"count":1111},"The University of Edinburgh",181,{"name":1113,"count":1114},"Universita Degli Studi di Padova",177,{"name":1116,"count":1117},"Universitat Wien",175,{"name":1119,"count":1120},"University of Leeds",169,{"name":1122,"count":1123},"Universiteit van Amsterdam",159,{"name":1125,"count":1126},"Universitetet I Oslo",156,{"name":1128,"count":1129},"Universiteit Utrecht",152,{"name":1131,"count":1132},"Technische Universiteit Delft",142,{"name":1134,"count":1135},"University of Warwick",141,{"name":1137,"count":1138},"Institut National de la Sante Et de la Recherche Medicale",139,[1140,1142,1144,1146,1148,1150,1152,1154,1156,1158,1160,1162,1164,1166,1168,1171,1173,1176,1178,1181,1183,1186,1188,1190,1193],{"name":57,"count":1141},5982,{"name":121,"count":1143},2854,{"name":51,"count":1145},2844,{"name":32,"count":1147},2362,{"name":25,"count":1149},2058,{"name":159,"count":1151},1624,{"name":475,"count":1153},1173,{"name":170,"count":1155},1075,{"name":12,"count":1157},996,{"name":105,"count":1159},788,{"name":302,"count":1161},634,{"name":405,"count":1163},608,{"name":501,"count":1165},487,{"name":88,"count":1167},482,{"name":1169,"count":1170},"FI",313,{"name":333,"count":1172},277,{"name":1174,"count":1175},"CZ",256,{"name":38,"count":1177},168,{"name":1179,"count":1180},"TR",147,{"name":890,"count":1182},137,{"name":1184,"count":1185},"SI",113,{"name":94,"count":1187},99,{"name":45,"count":1189},97,{"name":1191,"count":1192},"LU",59,{"name":858,"count":1194},56]
