Bioactive glass–gelatin hybrids: building scaffolds with enhanced calcium incorporation and controlled porosity for bone regeneration

Thanks to their active promotion of bone formation, bioactive glasses (BG) offer unique properties for bone regeneration, but their brittleness prevents them from being used in a wide range of applications. Combining BG with polymers into a true hybrid system is therefore an ideal solution to associate toughness from the polymer and stimulation of bone mineralization from the glass. In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of...
