The 0106-B1-bioactive glass (BG) composition (in wt %: 37.5 SiO2 , 22.6 CaO, 5.9 Na2 O, 4.0 P2 O5 , 12.0 K2 O, 5.5 MgO, and 12.5 B2 O3 ) has demonstrated favorable processing properties and promising bone regeneration potential. The present study aimed to evaluate the biological effects of the incorporation of highly pro-angiogenic copper (Cu) in 0106-B1-BG in vitro using human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) as well as its in vivo potential for bone regeneration. CuO was added to 0106-B1-BG in exchange for CaO, resulting in Cu-doped BG compositions containing 1...
