TL;DR: In this article, the effect of glass matrix modifiers on color and d-d electron spectra of chosen transition metal ions was analyzed using the analysis of colour and electron spectras of the obtained glasses, and it was shown that the chemical composition of the glass matrix influences the coordination state of the transition metal.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed poly(l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) based composites using sol-gel derived bioactive glasses (S-BG), previously described by their group, as composite components.

TL;DR: The results of these experiments showed that none of the tested materials significantly reduced any cell function, and the biocompatibility of gel-derived coatings was estimated, similar to that observed in melted glasses.

TL;DR: Beyond the ability of currently studied composites to enhance hB MSC osteogenesis, it may become possible to modulate the osteogenic response of hBMSC, depending on the chemistry of SBGs incorporated into polymer matrix.

TL;DR: Sol-gel glass-ceramic materials differing in CaO/SiO(2) ratios can produce markedly different effects on the osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation from HBMC.
