My project aims to support the development of tissue engineered bone using titanium-doped biocompatible glass, under the supervision of Dr Ivan Wall, and David De Silva Thompson. The central focus of the project is to investigate whether these bioglasses are truly resorbable. Revolving around this simple question, we want to know whether osteoclasts can resorb the material to balance out the synthesis capability of MSCs, which is necessary for natural bone remodelling and homeostasis. Work is kindly supported through collaboration with Professor Tim Arnett, UCL Research Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, and Professor Jonathan Knowles, UCL Eastman Dental institute, and their intelligent crews.
