Evaluation of Functionalized Porous Titanium Implants for Enhancing Angiogenesis in Vitro

Evaluation of Functionalized Porous Titanium Implants for Enhancing Angiogenesis in Vitro

Implant constructs supporting angiogenesis are favorable for treating critically-sized bone defects, as ingrowth of capillaries towards the center of large defects is often insufficient. Consequently, the insufficient nutritional supply of these regions leads to impaired bone healing. Implants with...
