Test conditions can significantly affect the results of in vitro cytotoxicity testing of degradable metallic biomaterials

Abstract In vitro cytotoxicity testing is an indispensable part of the development of new biomaterials. However, the standard ISO 10993-5 enables variability in the testing conditions, which makes the results of the test incomparable. We studied the influence of media composition on the results of t...
