Nanoparticulate bioactive-glass-reinforced gellan-gum hydrogels for bone-tissue engineering

his work presents bioactive-glass-reinforced gellan-gum spongy-like hydrogels (GG-BAG) as novel hydrophilic materials for use as the scaffolding in bone-tissue engineering. The reinforcement with bioactive-glass particles resulted in an improvement to the microstructure and to the mechanical propert...
