Silicon-hydroxyapatite bioactive coatings (Si-HA) from diatomaceous earth and SiO2: study of adhesion and proliferation of osteoblast-like cells

The aim of this study consisted of investigating the influence of bioactive ceramic coatings of silicon substituted hydroxyapatite (Si-HA) over the behaviour of the human osteoblast-like cell (SaOS-2) line. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) was the selected technique to deposit the coatings over titaniu...
