A tenacious wound healed with Mo-Sci’s DermaFuse bioglass. Credit: Mo-Sci. Most people think of “health care professionals” as their physicians, nurses, therapists, and other health care staff. However, many of the therapies in doctors’ toolkits come from health care professionals of a different stripe—scientists and engineers who develop biomedical materials and medical devices. Could…
Read MoreThe International Commission on Glass and Wiley are offering a relatively new book that is meant to serve as an introduction for undergraduate and graduate students to the burgeoning field of glass materials designed for medical and biological uses. While I haven’t read Bio-Glasses—An Introduction, a summary of the book suggests that it is a…
