The results demonstrated that the NanoFuse composite produced greater alkaline phosphatase activity , a key marker of early osteoblastic differentiation, compared with DBM alone and bioactive glass ...

For some time now, an antimicrobial material known as bioactive glass has been put forward for use in applications such as medical implants, hospital surfaces and wound dressings. Now, scientists ...

NanoFuse bioactive glass–demineralized bone matrix composite was found to be stronger than DBM alone or bioactive glass alone, according to a study in the International Journal of Spine Surgery.

Bioactive glass implants are commonly used in orthopedics and dentistry as they can form strong and direct bonds with bone. The capability of bioactive glass to stimulate the growth of new blood ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new potential treatment for bone cancer. A bioactive glass laced with a toxic metal was able to kill up to 99% of the cancer without harming healthy cells, and could ...

Bioactive glass has a unique ability to bond with living tissues, making it an invaluable asset in biomedical applications. Bioactive glass nanoparticles are primarily composed of silicon dioxide, ...

Wound healing is a complex process that involves multiple cell types and biological pathways. As it is a time-delayed process, dressing materials can protect the wound from external hazards in the ...

A few years from now millions of people around the world might be walking around with an unusual kind of glass in their mouth, and using it every time they eat. Engineers at Oregon State University ...

The paper introduces a novel bioactive glass that outperformed both standard glass and a widely used commercial bone substitute in preclinical trials. Glass is generally thought of as fragile, but in ...
