Bioglasses for Bone Tissue Engineering
The field of bone tissue engineering, which is rapidly evolving, aims at the regeneration of the bone structure and its functions. In regenerative medicine, the use of 3D porous structures aims to mimic the bone structure and to promote cell attachment an

Preface
We are especially pleased to present the second edition of our edited book in an area that is quickly emerging as one of the most active research areas that integrates both engineering and medicine. Research in this area is growing by leaps and bounds. Preliminary research results show significant potential in effecting major breakthroughs ranging from a reduction in the number of corrective surgeries needed to the “scientific miracle” of generating tissue growth. Billions of dollars/euros/pounds have been invested in tissue engineering over the past decade – a large and significant componen
