Background: Injectable augmentation gels are widely used in the treatment of soft tissue. The composition of these gels has to be continuously improved due to the limitations of the currently available formulations.
Aims: This study focuses on the development of an innovative injectable gel designed to address current trends and specific needs within the field.
This study investigates the structural and luminescent properties UV radiation of Tb³⁺-doped K₇CaY₂(B₅O₁₀)₃ (KCYBO) phosphors prepared using a microwave-assisted sol-gel method, with a focus on the impact of Na⁺ co-doping. Tb³⁺ ions were effectively integrated as evidenced by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Rietveld analysis, without disrupting the crystal structure. Photoluminescence (PL) analysis showed intense green emissions at 542 nm, which are due to the D₄ → F₅ transition in Tb³⁺.

Many patients suffer from peripheral nerve injury, which can impair their quality of life. Restoring nerve tissue is difficult due to the low ability of nerves to regenerate. Nerve conduits are designed to help peripheral nerve regeneration by providing a scaffold that can match the tissue characteristics, facilitate cellular activities, and be easily implanted.
