Abstract excerpt
Calcium phosphate ceramics with different hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) ratios have different chemical properties. Does the difference in phase composition affect osteoblast behavior? In this study, osteoblasts were cultured on 4 kinds of calcium phosphate ceramics, i.e. pure (HA), HT1 (HA/TCP, 70/30), HT2 (HA/TCP, 35/65), and pure TCP. Cell proliferation of SaOS-2 cells together with...
