To achieve this goal, haploid embryonic cells and embryonic stem cell lineages could be derived, genotyped, and used to substitute gametes.

Purpose: To compare the response to cyclical loading and ultimate pull-out strength of threaded suture anchor with and without calcium phosphate bone void filler augmentation in a polyurethane foam block model and in vitro proximal humerus cadaveric model.

Methods: This controlled biomechanical study consisted of 2 parts: (1) preliminary polyurethane foam block model, and (2) in vitro cadaveric humeri model. The preliminary foam block model intended to mimic osteoporotic bone using a 0.
