Silica nanomaterials (SNMs) and their composites have recently been investigated as
scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. SNM scaffolds possess the ability to encourage bone …

Bioactive glasses have been traditionally used in the clinical practice to fill and restore
osseous defects due to their unique ability to bond to host bone and stimulate new bone …

Polymeric nanofibrous scaffolds have the potential to interact and regulate specific
regenerative events at molecular level to restore the damaged tissues. Nanofibers can be …

The present work focuses on the state-of-the-art of biodegradable ceramic-polymer
composites with particular emphasis on influence of various types of ceramic fillers on …

Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), a growth factor that induces osteoblast
differentiation and promotes bone regeneration, has been extensively investigated in bone …

Research on mesoporous materials for biomedical and biological applications has
experienced an outstanding increase during recent years. This review with ca. 420 …

Multifunctional bioactive materials with the ability to stimulate osteogenesis and
angiogenesis of stem cells play an important role in the regeneration of bone defects …

Impact of bone diseases and injury is increasing at an enormous rate during the past
decades due to increase in road traffic accidents and other injuries. Bioactive glasses have …

The field of bone tissue engineering (BTE) focuses on the repair of bone defects that are too
large to be restored by the natural healing process. To that purpose, synthetic materials …

Bone disorders are of significant concern due to increase in the median age of our
population. It is in this context that tissue engineering has been emerging as a valid …
