We have been invited by Drs Valentina and Alexandru Grumezescu to write a chapter on nanofibers for the new book “Materials for Biomedical Engineering: Inorganic Micro and Nanostructures”. Chapter 10 “Bioactive glass nanofibers for tissue engineering” is an overview of this new type of biomaterials including our bioactive glass nanofibers produced by the Laser Spinning technique developed and patented by our group. The book has been published by Elsevier.
