Abstract excerpt
A porous hydroxyapatite was used as a morphogenetic matrix to study early tissue formation preceding the morphogenesis of bone in extraskeletal sites of the baboon (Papio ursinus). Porous hydroxyapatites, obtained by hydrothermal conversion of the calcium carbonate exoskeleton of coral, were impl...
