EnglishCopper is one of the most used therapeutic metallic elements in biomedicine, ranging from antibacterial approaches to cancer theranostics. This element could be easily incorporated into different types of biomaterials; specifically, copper-doped bioactive glasses (BGs) provide great opportunities for biomedical engineers and clinicians as regards their excellent biocompatibility and regenerative potential. Although copper-incorporated BGs are mostly used in bone tissue engineering, accelerated soft tissue healing is achievable, too, with interesting potentials in wound treatment and skin repair. Copper can modulate the physico-chemical properties of BGs (e.g., reactivity with bio-fluids) and improve their therapeutic potential. Improving cell proliferation, promoting angiogenesis, reducing or even prohibiting bacterial growth are counted as prominent biological features of copper-doped BGs. Recent studies have also suggested the suitability of copper-doped BGs in cancer photothermal therapy (PTT). However, more research is needed to determine the extent to which copper-doped BGs are actually applicable for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine strategies in the clinic. Moreover, copper-doped BGs in combination with polymers may be considered in the future to produce relatively soft, pliable composites and printable inks for use in biofabrication.
