Calcium phosphate-forming ability of magnetite and related materials in a solution mimicking in vivo conditions

Iron-based compounds, especially magnetite (Fe3O4), can be a candidate of thermoseeds for hyperthermia therapy. When iron-based compounds are applied for bone tumor treatment, they should have a heat-generating property and a bone-bonding property. However, the bone-bonding property of iron-based co...
