Porous hydroxyapatite (HAP) ceramics with different morphologies were fabricated by the freeze casting method. The morphologies of HAP ceramics were modified by adjusting the concentration of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) additive in the HAP slurries. HAP ceramics without PVA additive were composed of non

## Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate histologically and biomechanically the interface between porous hydroxyapatite ceramics and a tendon grafted into ceramics, and to compare the interface in two ceramics with different porous structures: interconnected porous calcium hydroxyapati
## Abstract Human osteoclasts derived from CD14+ve precursors were cultured on discs of stoichiometric hydroxyapatite (HA) and carbonateβsubstituted hydroxyapatite (CHA) of varying carbonate contents. The development of osteoclasts was qualitatively different on ceramics compared to dentine, occurr
