Two papers on bioactive glass composite scaffolds with our collaborators from China published
In the framework of our academic exchange program “Fabrication and osteogenesis of hierarchical scaffold of mesoporous Mg-doped bioactive glass/PBS composites” with the Engineering Research Center for Biomedical Materials of Ministry of Education in East China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai, China, (Prof. Jie Wei), two papers [1, 2] have been recently published in J. Mater. Chem. B. We are currently collaborating with the group of Prof. Wei in the development and characterization of metallic ion doped bioactive glasses and their application in bone tissue scaffolds. The project is supported by the China Scholarship Council (CSC) and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
