The aim of this study was to analyse human osteoblast responses to a porous bioactive glass scaffold. It was hypothesised that osteoblasts would attach, proliferate and form mineralised nodules in response to culture on the bioactive glass. As dissolution products are a key feature of bioactive glasses, this was measured by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy to determine effects of both the glass surface and ion release. Osteoblasts attached and proliferated on the foams as demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy. Nodule formation was also observed in the pores of the glass and also in conditioned medium containing dissolution products at certain concentrations and these nodules were shown to be mineralised by alizarin red staining. Undiluted dissolution products from the foams however caused significant apoptosis suggesting an ion concentration dependent response.

Bone defects resulting from trauma or diseases that lead to bone loss have created a growing need for innovative materials suitable for treating bone-related conditions. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to synthesize and analyse the synergistic effects of cerium (Ce) and cerium-silver (Ce-Ag) doping of borosilicate bioactive glass (BBG) on the bioactivity, antibacterial properties, and biocompatibility for potential applications in bone tissue engineering. This study utilized a sol-gel Stöber method to synthesize doped BBGs based on S49B4.

This study explores mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) that show promise as advanced therapeutic delivery platforms owing to their tailorable porous properties enabling enhanced drug loading capacity and biomimetic chemistry for localized, sustained release. This work systematically investigates the complex relationship between MBG composition and surfactant templating on structural evolution, bioactive response, resultant drug loading efficiency and release. A total of 12 samples of sol-gel-derived MBG were synthesized using cationic and non-ionic structure-directing agents (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, Pluronic F127 and P123) while modulating the SiO/CaO content, generating MBG with surface areas of 60-695 m/g.

In this study, we present novel, vitrimeric and biobased scaffolds that are designed for hard tissue applications, composed of acrylated, epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) and reinforced with bioactive glass that is Tellurium doped (BG-Te) and BG-Te silanized, to tune the mechanical and antibacterial properties. The manufacture's method consisted of a DLP 3D-printing method, enabling precise resolution and the possibility to manufacture a hollow and complex structure. The resin formulation was optimized with a biobased, reactive diluent to adjust the viscosity for an optimal 3D-printing process.

The development of new bioactive glasses (BGs) with enhanced bioactivity and improved resistance to crystallization is crucial for overcoming the main challenges faced by commercial BGs. Most shaping processes require thermal treatments, which can induce partial crystallization, negatively impacting the biological and mechanical properties of the final product. In this study, we present a novel bioactive glass composition, S53P4_MSK, produced by a melt-quench route.

Although 3D printing is becoming a dominant technique for scaffold preparation in bone tissue engineering (TE), developing hydrogel-based ink compositions with bioactive and self-healing properties remains a challenge. This research focuses on developing a bone scaffold based on a composite hydrogel, which maintains its self-healing properties after incorporating bioactive glass and is 3D-printable. The plain hydrogel ink was synthesized using natural polymers of 1 wt % N-carboxyethyl chitosan, 2 wt % hyaluronic acid aldehyde, 0.
