Conformable scaffold materials capable of rapid vascularization and tissue infiltration would be of value in the therapy of inaccessible wounds. Microporous spheres of poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) containing bioactive glass (BG) were prepared using a thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) technique, and the bioactivity, in vitro degradation, and tissue integration of the microporous spheres were assessed. Microporous spheres containing 10% (w/w) BG stimulated a significant increase in vascular endothelial growth factor secretion from myofibroblasts consistently over a 10-day period (p
