RETRACTED: Eggshell derived scaffold of hydroxyapatite-ammonium bicarbonate nano-composite: Bioactivity and cytotoxicity studies

Abstract

respectively which indicates that the compressive stress increased with the AMB content introduced as the pore forming agent. MTT assay performed using MG63 osteosarcoma cell lines showed that on comparing the sample of ESTHAp which contained 0 % AMB with other samples in the range of 0.01-1 mM, viability of above 85 % MG63 cells was achieved except for ESTHAp with 40 % AMB, which showed some level of toxicity. The cell adhesion studies of sintered ESTHAp porous scaffold with different weight percent of the pore forming agents using inverted microscopic images of MG 63 cells incubated with ESTHAp samples and treated with heat at 1000 °C appeared to be unstable in the media used with particle leaching observed, and no cells observed near to the samples.
