title: Study of the interface reactions between cells and a biocompatible ceramic.
abstract: Preliminary results on the modifications induced by the growth of a Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell line on the surface of a CORD 1014 ceramic cordierite are reported. Results proved that cells strongly modify the crystallography and the chemical composition of the surface and near surface regions of the cordierite.
