By combining the biocompatibility of Ta and excellent performance of Nb, the -type Ta-xNb (x=5, 10, and 15 wt %) alloys with three-dimensional network structure was successfully fabricated. This work was designed to carry out the systematic study of in vitro/vivo biocompatibility of highly porous Ta-Nb alloys. In the present study, the in vitro biological response was characterized by cell attachment, cytotoxicity test, and gene expression. Cells were well distributed on porous alloy surface and both bulk/porous Ta-15Nb alloys showd a 0-1 RGR level. Moreover, the upregulated gene expression may reveal an increase in bone regeneration. An assessment of primary osteogenic response in vivo was achieved by histological evaluation and pull-out test. In vivo results demonstrated that the porous Ta-15Nb alloy showed a higher pull-out force than bulk Ta-15Nb alloy and exhibited a more extensive contact between implants and bones after 12 weeks. Based on the present experiments, porous Ta-Nb alloy scaffolds had a good biocompatibility and were promising for biomedical applications. (c) 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
