Abstract

The effects of porous hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) on human endothelial cells was investigated. The cells exhibited a normal morphology and pattern of gene expression on these materials. The attachment, spread, growth, and gene regulation on the materials were also analyzed at various time points after addition of cells. Cell growth on the material was visualized by confocal microscopy after staining of cells with Calcein-AM. It was observed that endothelial cells were migrated and formed microvessel-like structures after exposure to angiogenesis-stimilating conditions.
