A mini review focused on the proangiogenic role of silicate ions released from silicon-containing biomaterials
Angiogenesis is considered an important issue in the development of biomaterials for the successful regeneration of tissues including bone. While growth factors are commonly used with biomaterials to promote angiogenesis, some ions released from biomaterials can also contribute to angiogenic events....
