SiO2–CaO–P2O5–CuO MBG scaffolds with angiogenesis, osteogenesis and antibacterial activity. (A) SEM images of the MBG scaffolds. (a1, a2) 0Cu-MBG, (a3, a4) 1Cu-MBG, (a5, a6) 2Cu-MBG, and (a7, a8) 5Cu-MBG. (B) Angiogenesis capacity of the scaffolds. (b1) VEGF secretion by ELISA, (b2) HIF-1a, VEGF and Tubulin expression by western blotting, (b3) HIF-1a expression and (b4) VEGF expression for hBMSCs. (C) Antibacterial evaluation of the scaffolds. (D) Osteogenesis assay of the ionic extracts from Cu-MBG particles. (d1) ALP, (d2) OPN and (d3) OCN for hBMSCs (reprinted with permission from ref. [93]).
