Beyond Bioactive Glass Composition: Using Morphology to Improve in Vitro and in Vivo Performance
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Bioactive glasses can easily be shaped into granules, spheres, discs, fibers, or three‐dimensional scaffolds. The resulting morphology not only affects handling properties; it has a direct influence on various glass properties, including results of acellular immersion experiments or in vitro studies with cells or bacteria, but also on in vivo ...
