Abstract excerpt
Long-term stability of arthroplasty prosthesis depends on the integration between osseous tissue and the implant biomaterial. Integrity of the osseous tissue requires the contribution of mesenchymal stem cells and their continuous differentiation into an osteoblastic phenotype. This study aims to investigate the hypothesis that exposure to wear debris particles derived from orthopaedic biomaterials affects the...
