Since the early 2000s, borate bioactive glasses (BBGs) have been extensively investigated
for biomedical applications. The research so far indicates that BBGs frequently exhibit …

Over the past few decades, the field of biomaterials concerning bone tissue engineering has
gained a significant amount of interest. This has led to new biomaterials to be used as bone …

Improving and accelerating bone repair still are partially unmet needs in bone regenerative
therapies. In this regard, strontium (Sr)-containing bioactive glasses (BGs) are highly …

Strontium (Sr) and strontium ranelate (SR) are commonly used therapeutic drugs for patients
suffering from osteoporosis. Researches have showed that Sr can significantly improve the …

Strontium (Sr) is a trace element taken with nutrition and found in bone in close connection
to native hydroxyapatite. Sr is involved in a dual mechanism of coupling the stimulation of …

Calcium phosphate cements (CPC) are widely anticipated to be an optimum bone repair
substitute due to its satisfied biocompatibility and degradability, suitable to be used in …

Musculoskeletal disorders such as osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis are responsible for
more than 25k deaths every year in the European Union and constitute a chronic burden on …

Some treatment options available to repair bone defects are the use of autogenous and
allogeneic bone grafts. The drawback of the first one is the donor site's limitation and the …

As the population ages, spinal degeneration seriously affects quality of life in middle-aged
and elderly patients, and prevention and treatment remain challenging for clinical surgeons …
