Biocompatibility and characterization of polylactic acid/styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene composites.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Previously we found that a group of phosphorylated proteins (SIBLINGs) in bone binds with the Ti-device, and increases the early bone formation around the Ti-implants remarkably. From these results, we explained the biochemical mechanism of a strong bond between living bone and Ti, which was discovered by Br...
