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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

When implanted in the body, bioactive glass triggers specific biological activity which forms a layer on the glass surface with a material similar to hydroxyapatite. This layer enables the bioactive ...

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 ...

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, ...

Dental researchers have now developed a very fast dissolving ‘bioactive’ glass which they are putting in toothpaste to repair decayed teeth. A group at Queen Mary University of London have now ...

In a groundbreaking study, scientists at the University of Birmingham may have just achieved significant breakthroughs in wound care. Their research reveals the potential of using bioactive glass ...

Infections linked to medical devices such as catheters, dental implants, orthopaedics and wound dressings could be dramatically reduced using a simple technique, according to new research. Infections ...

Bacteria are a huge problem in hospitals, where colonies can build up on instruments and cause potentially fatal infections in vulnerable patients. Now, researchers at Aston University have developed ...
