Proliferation assay to assess potential long-term effects of exposure to USND on cell behaviour. A small number of MSCs were seeded onto H-terminated USND, Ti-6AI-4V, or CoCrMo and cultured for up to 1 week. The number of viable cells was quantified at days 3 and 7 by an MTT assay. Cell proliferation on USND was not significantly different from Ti-6AI-4V, but was greater than that observed for cells grown on CoCrMo. * denotes p < 0.05.
