The sol–gel derived porous bioactive glasses have drawn worldwide attention by virtue of
the convenience and flexibility of this versatile synthesis method. In this review, the recent …

The geometry of porous scaffolds that are used for bone tissue engineering and/or bone
substitution has recently been shown to significantly influence the cellular response and the …

Boron is considered to influence the performance of several metabolic enzymes and boron
deficiency is associated with impaired growth and abnormal bone development. As such …

Abstract 3D printing is now adopted for use in a variety of industries and functions. In
biomedical engineering, 3D printing has prevailed over more traditional manufacturing …

This paper reviews the application of a broad range of additive manufacturing technologies
(AMTs), including Stereolithographic Ceramic Manufacturing (SLCM/LCM), 3D-Printing …

Attributable to their low chemical durability, borate-based glasses have been demonstrated
to convert rapidly to hydroxy-carbonated apatite (HCA), the inorganic component of bone …

The scaffold microstructure has a great impact on cell functions in tissue engineering.
Herein, the PLLA scaffolds with hierarchical fiber size and pore size were successfully …

Bioactive glasses are widely used in biomedical applications due to their ability to bond to
bone and even to soft tissues. In this study, borate based (13-93B3) bioactive glass powders …

The performance of many biological processes is thought to be affected by boron, and a
deficiency is linked to delayed bone growth. Boron is therefore a bioactive element that is …

Despite an ongoing strenuous effort to understand the compositional and structural drivers
controlling the chemical durability of oxide glasses, there is still no complete consensus on …
