Advancements in Bone Regeneration: Using Bioactive Glass as a Scaffolding Material

The video discusses research at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital on regrowing diseased or damaged bone. Professor Julia Pollock and her team tested bioactive glass, a material used in dentistry, on human bone cells. The glass encouraged cell growth by acting as scaffolding. The team aims to develop a treatment combining bioactive glass with a patient's bone marrow, and eventually with stem cells, to treat bone disease without rejection.
