What's the difference between ingrowth and inwards?
Ingrowth
Definition:
(n.) A growth or development inward.
Example Sentences:

(9) These cases show that rigid fixation with good bony ingrowth does not guarantee the clinical success of a porous-coated uncemented femoral stem.
(10) However, our data further suggest that enhanced ingrowth may not always lead to enhanced fixation.
(11) A new process of plasma-spraying hydroxyapatite--an entirely biocompatible, bioceramic material--onto porous, titanium alloy components promotes bone ingrowth into the components resulting in implant fixation, which is superior to current methods of cemented or cementless fixation.
(12) Studies on femurs retrieved at autopsy from patients who underwent cemented total hip arthroplasty two week sup to seventeen years earlier and were functioning well, have shown that the failure of cemented femoral components is initiated primarily by mechanical factors, consisting of debonding at the cement-prosthesis interface and fractures of the cement rather than lack of bone ingrowth or fibrous tissue formation at the interface.
(13) No bony ingrowth into the spinal canal was observed.
(14) The replamineform process is a unique means of studying surface healing and wall ingrowth of different biomaterials as microporous vascular prostheses in a controlled fashion.
(15) Implant stability resulting from bone remodelling and ingrowth occurred to varying degrees with all implants.
(16) Bone ingrowth was inhibited by 20 cycles of 0.5-mm movement applied during a 30-second period once daily.
(17) This investigation attempts to apply the concept of direct skeletal attachment via tissue ingrowth to the attachment of femoral head prostheses to the femur.
(18) In osteoconduction, the implant does not provide many viable cells but rather acts as a scaffolding for the ingrowth of new bone from the margins of the defect with the concurrent resorption of the implant; cortical bone grafts or banked bone segments are examples of this "creeping substitution."
(19) Fixation strength resulting from osseous ingrowth reached an average of 1380 N at a mean implant duration of 218 days.
(20) Our results support the view that autologous bone chips are effective in attaching cementless porous-coated total knee replacements to the human skeleton by bone ingrowth.
Inwards
Definition:
(a.) Toward the inside; toward the center or interior; as, to bend a thing inward.
(a.) Into, or toward, the mind or thoughts; inwardly; as, to turn the attention inward.
(adv.) See Inward.
Example Sentences:
(1) The maximum amplitude of the inward Na+ current, normalized by cell capacitance, is about sixfold larger, on the average, in LP lactotropes than in SP lactotropes.
(2) In contrast with oligodendrocytes, [Cl-]i in astrocytes is significantly increased (from 20 to 40 mM) above the equilibrium distribution owing to the activity of an inward directed Cl- pump; this suggests a different mechanism of K+ uptake in these cells.
(3) The differentiated neuroblastoma cell possesses characteristics of an electrically excitable cell and can generate propagated potential spikes in which Ca2+ is the inward charge carrier.
(4) This response seemed to be triggered mainly by the influx of Ca2+ through L-type Ca2+ channel activated by membrane depolarization, which was caused by the ATP-induced inward current.
(5) I have equated nationalism with racism, xenophobia, inward-looking-ness and militarism.
(6) From this, and previous studies indicating a dependency of contraction frequency on the inward verapamil-sensitive Na influx, it is suggested that the drugs modify the automaticity of this preparation by a primary influence on membrane Na exchange.
(7) We used two experimental techniques to study the effect of lidocaine hydrochloride on the early inward transient (sodium) current as it is reflected by the maximum rate of change of action potential phase 0 (Vmax).
(8) Ca2+ inward currents evoked by membrane depolarization have been studied by the intracellular dialysis technique in the somatic membrane of isolated dorsal root ganglion neurones of new-born rats.
(9) Furthermore, clonidine can abolish, in reversible fashion, the acetylcholine-activated inward current determined with patch-clamp.
(10) In the type II response kainate caused prominent inward currents at -60 mV in Na(+)-free, 10 mM-Ca2+ solution.
(11) The kinetics of the membrane current during the anomalous or inward-going rectification of the K current in the egg cell membrane of the starfish Mediaster aequalis were analyzed by voltage clamp.
(12) L-type ICa, an inward-going sustained current, was activated with depolarization more positive than -25 mV.
(13) Displacements of the hair bundle towards the taller stereocilia generated inward-going m-e.t.
(14) At low concentrations, the current-voltage relations are inwardly rectifying, but they become more ohmic if a small amount of divalent cations is added externally.
(15) Divalent cations (2 mM-Ni2+, 1 mM-Ba2+ or 2 mM-Ca2+) reduced only the outward current in the Tris Na(+)-free solution, while in the 150 mM-Na+ solution, they reduced both the inward and outward components of the current which had a reversal potential of around -10 mV.
(16) Large negative-going pulses elicited proportionally larger inward currents that decayed during the pulse with voltage-dependent kinetics.
(17) In the absence of Ca2+ (but with Mg2+ present) the inward current disappeared but a large, inactivating outward current appeared when V greater than 0 mV.
(18) -57 mV) induced a large voltage-dependent inward current which has been identified as the K current through the anomalous rectifier (Ianomal.).
