At present, strong requirements in orthopaedics are still to be met, both in bone and joint
substitution and in the repair and regeneration of bone defects. In this framework …

Traditionally, bioactive glasses have been used to fill and restore bone defects. More
recently, this category of biomaterials has become an emerging research field for bone …

Treating large bone defects, known as critical-sized defects (CSDs), is challenging because
they are not spontaneously healed by the patient's body. Due to the limitations associated …

Advances in biomaterials and the need for patient-specific bone scaffolds require modern
manufacturing approaches in addition to a design strategy. Hybrid materials such as those …

Silicon carbide (SiC) is recognized as a notable semiconductor because of its outstanding
characteristics, for instance wide-bandgap, outstanding magnetic properties, extraordinary …

The incorporation of bioactive glass into bone tissue-engineered scaffolds can be widely
beneficial based on emerging evidence in the literature about the angiogenic potential of …

Currently, one of the most promising strategies in bone tissue engineering focuses on the
development of biomimetic scaffolds. Ceramic-based scaffolds with favorable osteogenic …
