Regadas, Joana Soares; Gavinho, Sílvia Rodrigues; Teixeira, Sílvia Soreto; de Jesus, Juliana Vieira; Pádua, Ana Sofia; Silva, Jorge CarvalhoBioglasses have been used throughout the past century as a biomaterial in the bone regeneration field. However, recent studies have attempted to use them as a therapeutic material as well, mainly in the treatment of osteosarcomas. The most widely recognized bioglass is the 45S5 Bioglass, invented by Larry Hench et al., which presents higher bioactivity. A possible application of this bioglass in the treatment o...
An Eco-Friendly Process to Extract Hydroxyapatite from Sheep Bones for Regenera...
Gavinho, Sílvia Rodrigues; Bozdag, Mehmet; Kalkandelen, Cevriye; Regadas, Joana Soares; Jakka, Suresh Kumar; Gunduz, Oguzhan; Oktar, Faik NuzhetHydroxyapatite (HA) promotes excellent bone regeneration in bone-tissue engineering, due to its similarity to bone mineral and its ability to connect to living tissues. These factors promote the osteointegration process. This process can be enhanced by the presence of electrical charges, stored in the HA. Furthermore, several ions can be added to the HA structure to promote specific biological responses, such a...
