doi: 10.1007/s40846-017-0312-7

Figure Lengend Snippet: The stereomicroscope images of a fabricated in vitro samples that were used for the osteoblast cytocompatibility tests: (a) control and (b) NFM coated Ti. The stereomicroscope images of a fabricated in vivo samples that were used for the mechanical and μCT tests: (c) control and (d) NFM coated Ti.

Article Snippet: Rat osteoblast cells (R-OST-583; Lonza) were cultured at log phase growth in standard culture conditions (37°C in a 5% CO 2 incubator on tissue culture dishes) using DMEM/high glucose + 5% FBS and 1% ABAM (Sigma Chemical).

Techniques: In Vitro, Control, In Vivo
