Gene expression of bone markers; protein levels of Ti-PEEK and PEEK groups. (a) Fold changes in gene expression of bone markers (normalized to GAPDH) over TCP control (calibrator = 1) in osteoblast-like cells cultured on Ti-PEEK and PEEK surfaces; * 95% CIs of mean fold change values of Ti-PEEK and PEEK do not overlap; (b) BMP-2 protein levels secreted by osteoblast-like cells cultured on Ti-PEEK, PEEK and TCP surfaces; * p < 0.05 vs. PEEK; # p < 0.05 vs. TCP.
