  5. 9. Osteoblast Behaviour on Injectable Biomaterials Intended for Augmentation of Vertebral Compression Fractures

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Sandra Ramstedt; [2007]
    Keywords : vertebral compression fractures; osteoblasts; injectable biomaterials; Ca-aluminate; Bis-GMA; PMMA; cell studies;

    Abstract : Biomaterials used for stabilization of compressed vertebraes due to osteoporosis, have mainly been based on resin materials, like PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), but have recently expanded to consist of injectable ceramics, such as calcium-aluminate. In this in vitro study human osteoblast-like cells, MG-63, were cultured on three different injectable biomaterials based on: Ca-aluminate, Bis-GMA (bisphenol A-glycidylmethacrylate) and PMMA, to investigate the cellular response elicited by these materials.
