‘Laser spinning’ technique aids in bone regeneration

Facebook X LinkedIn Email

Researchers have devoted considerable effort to developing materials for bone regeneration in the wake of damage or disease. Their studies have focused on producing tissue scaffolds that can mimic the natural extracellular matrix, often exploring the potential of bioactive glass fibers for directing and mediating cell growth. A variety of techniques for generating these fibers have been described. In the Oct. 19, 2009, issue of Advanced Functional Materials, investigators from the University of Vigo, from Rutgers University in Piscataway and from Imperial College London reported a “laser...Read full article

    devitrification
    The process by which a vitreous or amorphous substance forms a crystal structure at a specified temperature.
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
