Mesoporous bioactive glasses as drug delivery and bone tissue regeneration platforms

摘要

Over the past three decades bioactive glasses have played an increasingly important role in bone tissue regeneration application by virtue of their excellent osteoconductivity, mechanical strength and generally good degradation rate. Several different types of bioactive glasses have been investigated for their potential use for bone tissue regeneration. The development of bioactive glasses has undergone three major stages according to their method of preparation.
