Abstract excerpt
Hydroxyapatite describes both the natural mineral phase of bone as well as the widely used calcium-phosphate implant substitute. Given that hydroxyapatite is a major component of the in vivo surface with which osteoblasts interact, it is surprising that most studies examining the regulation of osteoblast growth and differentiation utilize plastic surfaces. Here we demonstrate that the phenotype of mouse MC3T3-E1...
