TL;DR: The analysis of the bacterial viability, using different bacterial strains, and the morphological observation of the biofilm produced by the Staphylococcus epidermidis revealed the antimicrobial effectiveness of the Cu-MBG and the relative ionic extracts against both the bacterial growth and theBiofilm formation/dispersion, providing a true alternative to traditional antibiotic systemic therapies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed antioxidant cerium-containing MBGNs (Ce-MBGNs) by using a post-impregnation strategy to incorporate Ce, through which the shape, pore structure, and dispersity of the nanoparticles were preserved.

TL;DR: In this paper, an aerosol-assisted spray-drying method (MBG_Cu 2%_SD) was used to extract microspheres and spheroidal nanoparticles, which were then synthesized by a sol-gel synthesis.

TL;DR: The meso-macroporous hierarchical constructs produced in this research could be proposed as bioactive and mechanically strong implants for potential applications in bone tissue engineering.

TL;DR: Biocompatible, multifunctional Cu-containing mesoporous glass nanoparticles were successfully produced and demonstrated to exert both antibacterial and proangiogenic effects.
