*Abstract: Bioactive glasses currently used in biomedical applications react with body fluids to form the inorganic bone-like material known as hydrpxyapatite (HA). The bioactive glass described herein can react in a similar fashion to form HA if desired, but other useful applications are possible. The glass may stimulate changes in cellular activity, that are beneficial and accelerate vascularization and soft tissue growth. Specific targeting and stimulation of certain cell types may be possible. These glasses can be chemically modified to react quickly (hours), or for longer periods of time (months to years). Three dimensional scaffolds can be produced for tissue regeneration applications. The benefits associated with added growth factors may be obtained, without significant increases in cost.
