Abstract excerpt
Bioactive glasses dissolve upon immersion in culture medium, and release their constitutive ions into solution. There has been some evidence suggesting that these ionic-dissolution products influence osteoblast-specific processes. Here, the effect of 58S sol-gel-derived bioactive glass (60% SiO(2), 36% CaO, 4% P(2)O(5), in molar percentage) on primary osteoblasts derived from human fetal long bone explant...
