Slipper Limpet (<i>Crepidula fornicata)</i> Shells Support In Vitro Osteogenesis of Human Adipose-Derived Stem Cells

This study aimed to investigate a cost-effective alternative to man-made calcium phosphate ceramics for treating bone defects. The slipper limpet is an invasive species in European coastal waters, and its shells composed of calcium carbonate could potentially be a cost-effective source of bone graft...
