In Vitro and In Vivo Response to Low-Modulus PMMA-Based Bone Cement

Figure 2

Evaluation by flow cytometry at 1, 4, and 12 weeks after implantation showed no statistical difference in the cell populations present in the tissue surrounding the modified material compared to the base materials. Immune cell populations are shown as mean percentage of entire cell population in each tissue sample. The error bars represent the standard deviations of the mean, with 6–10 replicates per group.
