Nanostructure of bioactive glass affects bone cell attachment via protein restructuring upon adsorption

Abstract The nanostructure of engineered bioscaffolds has a profound impact on cell response, yet its understanding remains incomplete as cells interact with a highly complex interfacial layer rather than the material itself. For bioactive glass scaffolds, this layer comprises of silica gel, hydroxy...
