All implants were fabricated and handled under aseptic conditions using a biosafety cabinet. Certain implants were exposed to gamma irradiation, as indicated in the text. Implants exposed to gamma irradiation were first packed in amber glass vials and then irradiated with a dose range of 18–24 kGy at room temperature, using a Cobalt-60 gamma-ray source (Nordion Inc., Ottawa, ON, Canada) at Steris (Mentor, OH, USA). Samples were exposed to the source on a continuous path for a period of 8 h.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
