TL;DR: The activation of the human acute monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1 in vitro and the response in subcutaneous tissue in vivo to CNTs of different lengths are investigated and results indicated that the degree of inflammation around 825-C NTs was stronger than that around 220-CNTs since macrophages could envelop 220- cNTs more readily.

TL;DR: Rat tibia tissue into which calcium ion (Ca2+)-implanted titanium was surgically placed was histologically analyzed to investigate the performance of the Ca(2+)+)-impl implanted titanium as a biomaterial and indicated that Ca( 2+)- Implanted titanium is superior to titanium alone for bone conduction.

TL;DR: The results clearly indicate that BMP-induced bone formation is highly dependent on the geometry of the carrier, which provides feasible structural factors for vascularization.

TL;DR: The results indicate that this new calcium phosphate cement is a suitable bone substitute material and that the concentration of citric acid in the liquid component affects its mechanical properties and biocompatibility.

TL;DR: Results showed that H-CNFs were not strong prophlogistic substances and were englobed in vivo, compared with other hat-stacked carbon nanofibers studied.
