This study investigated the osteoblast behaviors on various hydroxyapatite based biomaterials that were consolidated at 1100°C for 3 min by a spark plasma sintering technique. The osteoblasts from human fetal osteoblast cell line were cultured in the medium on the various biomaterials surfaces (HA,...
