Abstract excerpt
To analyze the bone-bonding property of hydroxyapatite ceramics (HA), composites of rat marrow cells and porous HA were implanted subcutaneously and harvested at 3 to 4 weeks postimplantation. De novo bone formation was observed primarily on the HA surface without fibrous tissue interposition. Th...
