Our paper in collaboration with RCSI (Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland) researchers published in Biomaterials
The paper “Collagen scaffolds functionalised with copper-eluting bioactive glass reduce infection and enhance osteogenesis and angiogenesis both in vitro and in vivo” led by our collaboratos at the RCSI (Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland), first author: Dr. Emily Ryan, Principal Investigator: Prof Fergal O’Brien, RCSI Department of Anatomy, Head of the Tissue Engineering Research Group, has been published in Biomaterials, the top journal in the field. The study presents the innovative application of copper-doped bioactive glass particles, synthesised in our Institute in Erlangen (Dr. Anahi Philipart, Ms Francesca Ciraldo, Prof. Aldo R. Boccaccini), in a collagen based composite technology developed at RCSI to achieve functional biomaterials with dual antibacterial and angiogenic effects. [1] E. J.
