Abstract excerpt
The objective of the study was to examine the effect of alkali ion release, pH control and buffer capacity on the expression of the osteoblastic phenotype. In addition we determined the importance of modifications of the surface of porous bioactive glass (BG) on the activity of rat calvaria osteo...
