Composites of dicalcium silicate cement (C 2 S), prepared by solid state reaction, were
fabricated with 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt% additions of borosilicate glass (BG) prepared by melt …

Calcium phosphate cement has been widely investigated as a bone graft substitute due to
its excellent self-setting ability, biocompatibility, osteoconductivity and moldability. In …

An innovative, biomimetic, green synthesis approach was exploited for the synthesis of
humane and environmental friendly nanomaterials for biomedical applications. Ultrafine …

Background Surgical implants are widely used in the medical field but their long-term
performance is limited due to failure of integration with tissues. This manuscript describes …

Self-gelling/setting injectable biomaterials hold great promise for the delivery of bioactive
molecules and cells useful for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In the …

A controlled drug delivery system is preferable to traditional drug administration because it
can supply the drug continuously and ensure on-demand bioavailability. The production of …

Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to
skeletal fragility with increased fracture risk. Calcium phosphates (CaPs) are widely used in …

Non-cytotoxic and bioactive tetracalcium phosphate/nanomonetite/calcium silicate–
