Abstract
Content

Engineers at Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, have developed a glass-based scaffold that could one day be used as an implant to repair injured weight-bearing bones. Previously, they had developed a glass implant strong enough for walking or lifting. But, this implant, which consists of porous scaffolding, they say, can bear weight and integrate with bone and promote bone growth. This combination of strength and bone growth opens new possibilities for bone repair.
