Ceramic powder extracts of akermanite, bredigite and diopside showed enhanced ability to promote (A) osteogenesis in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, as demonstrated by staining for alkaline phosphatase; and (B) angiogenesis in human aortic endothelial cells, as demonstrated by staining for nitric oxide, compared to β-tricalcium phosphate and ceramic-free controls [101]. Cont: ceramic-free control, Ake: akermanite, Bri: bredigite, TCP: β-tricalcium phosphate. Adapted by permission of Elsevier, Copyright © 2013.
