Strontium substituted bioactive glasses for tissue engineered scaffolds: the importance of octacalcium phosphate.
Abstract
Porous bioactive glasses are attractive for use as bone scaffolds. There is increasing
interest in strontium containing bone grafts, since strontium ions are known to upregulate
osteoblasts and down regulate osteoclasts. This paper investigates the
influence of partial to full substitution of strontium for calcium on the dissolution and
phase formation of a multicomponent high phosphate content bioactive glass.
