Abstract excerpt
Macrophages are vital regulators of skeletal remodeling and osseous repair. Beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is a synthetic ceramic biomaterial that has shown promise as bone substitute. However, whether and how β-TCP affects osteogenesis-related responses of macrophages has rarely been studied. The aims of this study were to explore (a) the effects of β-TCP on osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived...
