Abstract

Abstract Bioactive glasses were invented 45 years ago and have been in clinical use since the 1980s in otology, orthopaedics and dentistry. Initially born as bioactive materials to fill bone defects, bioactive glasses expanded their biomedical suitability towards a broad spectrum of tissue engineering and therapeutic applications, and research evolution seems to witness that their potential is far from being fully exploited. Classical applications of bioactive glasses involve bone filling materials and dental implants; however, the fascinating question to be answered in the next few years is: how can bioactive glasses be useful in soft tissue regeneration and to treat diseases, such as tumours, that may affect internal organs? This review paper focuses on research that demonstrates the suitability of bioactive glasses in contact with tissues outside the skeletal system, including muscle and nerve tissue regeneration, treatment of diseases affecting sense organs (eye and ear), embolization of neoplastic tissues, cancer radiotherapy via injectable microspheres, and wound dressing. A prospect for future research is also provided, highlighting the potential associated to targeted therapy via local ion release, angiogenesis stimulation and in situ drug release, as well as the promise of biofabrication for the development of bioactive glass-containing composite constructs for organ regeneration.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
