Our new paper on bioactive glass scaffolds from maritime sponges published
Our new paper on bioactive glass scaffolds from maritime sponges (first author: Elena Boccardi, PhD student) [1] has been recently published in the special issue Emerging Trends in Biomaterials Research [June 2016, Volume 44, Issue 6, pp 1861–1862] in the journal Annals of Biomedical Engineering. The special issue was guest edited by Prof. Akhilesh Gaharwar (Texas A&M University, USA), Prof. Michael Detamore (University of Kansas, USA) and Prof. Ali Khademhosseini (Harvard University, USA). The papers included in this special issue, co-authored by several distinguished researchers, highlight biomaterials as one of the most significant topics in Biomedical Engineering. Our paper in this special issue is the result of a collaboration with the groups of Prof. L. De Nardo at Politechnic of Milan, Italy, Prof. C. Vitale-Brovarone at Polytechnic of Turin, Italy, and Dr. T. Fey at Institute of Glass and Ceramics of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.
