Bioactive Hierarchical Structures for Genetic Control of Bone Morphogenesis

Bioactive Hierarchical Structures for Genetic Control of Bone Morphogenesis

For thirty years it has been known that certain compositions of Na2O-CaO-P2O5-SiO 2 glasses will form a mechanically strong, chemical bond to bone. These materials have become known as bioactive glasses and the process of bonding is called bioactive fixation. Bioactive glasses are widely used clinic...
