Outline of Final Research Achievements

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is the principal inorganic constituent of bone. In order to utilize the HA for tissue scaffolds, it must evaluate to the living cells on the using HA material. Direct observations of living cells on the transparent HA is promoted an understanding of cellular behavior. The aim of this study is try to observe the living cells on HA green compact. HA powder was synthesized by a homogeneous precipitation technique. The transparent green compact of thickness 1 mm was successfully prepared with no apparent cracks. It was able to observe of the living cells on transparent HA green compact.
