Abstract
Mesoporosity is a prerequisite for the versatility of bioactive glasses. This chapter provides a new insight into the recent development on the mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) materials, rendering its applications in tissue engineering and bioresponsive molecules (drug, nucleic acids, peptides, proteins, growth factors) delivery. Starting from the bioactive glass synthesis, the chapter moves toward the discussion on the recent attractive methodologies adopted for the delivery of therapeutic molecules for soft and hard tissues. Among the delivery of bioresponsive molecules, therapeutic genes are among the most focused area of research in the current era. Interestingly, robust, vital role of MBG as a functional nanomachine is tailored through the nanosized mesoporous nature of the material. Pertinently, a bone regenerative and bioresorbable material is useful in the treatment of bone cancer.
