Abstract excerpt
To reveal the biocompatibility of TiMo12Zr6Fe2 (TMZF), a new titanium alloy used since 1998 for orthopaedic prosthesis, we compared the behavior of primary human fibroblasts and osteoblasts grown on TMZF discs or on plastic tissue culture dishes, a widely used material specifically treated by the manufacturer to enhance cell growth. Proliferation, differentiation. RNA and collagen type I expression level of human...
