The combination of porous structure and bioactive composition of the oxide layers can be suitable for use as advanced biomedical implants with osseointegration ability.
The developed macroporous and nanofibrous scaffolds with PLA-BGnp bioactive composition are considered as a novel 3D matrix potentially useful for bone tissue engineering.
In particular, the present article will focus on the latest research findings in the areas of inflammation and cardiometabolic, cognitive and gut health, and how early-life nutrition and the macronutrient and plant bioactive composition of the adult diet influence inflammatory processes.
In addition to the 'standard' silicate-based bioactive glass compositions, representative findings on novel glass compositions for biomedical use, e.g. containing therapeutic metal ions, will be highlighted.
The sintering and crystallization behaviours of alkali-free bioactive glass compositions designed in the diopside (CaO·MgO·2SiO2)–tri-calcium phosphate (3CaO·P2O5) binary join by varying the Di/TCP ratios were investigated by hot-stage microscopy and differential thermal analysis, respectively.
After the pioneering invention of 45S5 Bioglass by Professor Larry Hench in late 1960s, several bioactive glass compositions had been investigated and proposed to meet the stringent requirements of repairing and regeneration of damaged bones.
In addition, bioactive glass compositions doped with AgO2 have been shown to elicit antibacterial properties while maintaining their bioactive function (Bellantone et al. [2002]).
Titanium plates were coated by high-velocity suspension flame spraying (HVSFS) technique using a novel bioactive glass composition based on the K2O CaO P2O5 SiO2 composition ("Bio-K").
This study investigated the effect of composite scaffolds composed of poly (octanediol citrate) (POC) and a bioactive glass (composition, 48%SiO2-12SiO2-12%CaO-32CaO-32%ZnO-8ZnO-8%Ga2O3d ofteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs).
Here we produced macroporous and nanofibrous scaffolds with bioactive nanocomposite composition, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) incorporating bioactive glass nanoparticles (BGnp) up to 30 wt%, targeting bone regeneration.
