Glass-ceramic scaffolds with tailored surface topography and additional bioactive functions for bone tissue engineering

The focus of this thesis was to develop new highly porous (>90% porosity) Bioglass®-based glass-ceramic scaffolds (fabricated by the foam replica method) in order to enhance the scaffold cellular response and biological performance and to improve the scaffold suitability for future clinical appli...
