Application of a Promising Bone Graft Substitute in Bone Tissue Regeneration: Characterization, Biocompatibility, and In Vivo Animal Study
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of local hydroxyapatite (HA) combined with extracted sea cucumber (Stichopus hermanni) collagen as a promising bone graft substitute on bone remodeling. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, transmission electron...
