Abstract

We report preliminary findings suggesting that the diameter of the internalised calcium phosphate particles is critical to cell fate with particles/aggregates of particles of larger than 1.5 μm not processed by lysosomes leading to cell death. This has significant implications for the design of medical materials even from those consisting of non-toxic calcium phosphate salts.
