16. The Effect of Selected Metals on Marrow Cells in Culture. A.A. Marino, T.J. Berger, R.O. Becker and J.A. Spadaro. Chem. Biol. Interactions. 9: 217-223, 1974.

The differential effects produced in culture by silver, platinum, and stainless steel were studied. After 24 h, mouse marrow cultured on silver showed a significant decrease in the percentages of immature granulocytic and erythroid cells, and a significant increase in the percentage of mature granulocytic cells. The effect, which was not observed at 72 h, was unrelated to the equilibrium potential assumed by silver.
