Silibinin releasing mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles: potential for breast cancer therapy
Our paper “Silibinin releasing mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles with potential for breast cancer therapy” has been published on-line in Ceramics International [1]. In collaboration with Dr. Aldo Leal-Egana, we investigated a novel combination of mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (mean size: 120 ± 10 nm) as a carrier and release system for silibinin, a natural flavonolignan used as anticancer […]Our paper “Silibinin releasing mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles with potential for breast cancer therapy” has been published on-line in Ceramics International [1].

New (Open Access) study on cell laden bioactive glass containing hydrogel capsules published in Macromol. Biosci.
Our new paper on the fabrication and characterisation of cell laden alginate dialdehyde‐gelatin capsules incorporating 45S5 bioactive glass (BG) microparticles has been published in Macromolecular Bioscience [1]. The study was led by Dr. Supachai (Boo) Reakasame. Successful encapsulation of MG‐63 cells in BG containing capsules was achieved confirming that addition of BG regulates the activity […]Our new paper on the fabrication and characterisation of cell laden alginate dialdehyde‐gelatin capsules incorporating 45S5 bioactive glass (BG) microparticles has been published in Macromolecular Bioscience [1].
