Calcium phosphate (CaP) bioceramics are widely used in the field of bone regeneration,
both in orthopedics and in dentistry, due to their good biocompatibility, osseointegration and …

Collagen mineralization is a biological process in many skeletal elements in the animal
kingdom. Examples of these collagen‐based skeletons are the siliceous spicules of glass …

This review summarizes recent and very recent work on preparing substituted
hydroxyapatites. Ease of atomic do** or substitution in apatite opens this mineral up for a …

Mineralized “hard” tissues of the skeleton possess unique biomechanical properties to
support the body weight and movement and act as a source of essential minerals required …

Background Progress in the diagnosis and prediction of fragility fractures depends on
improvements to the understating of the compositional contributors of bone quality to …

A crystalline solid that is a special form of the mineral apatite dominates the composite
material bone. A mineral represents the intimate linkage of a three-dimensional atomic …

Calcium phosphate apatites offer outstanding biological adaptability that can be attributed to
their specific physico-chemical and structural properties. The aim of this review is to …

B-type synthetic carbonate hydroxyapatite (CHAp), natural carbonate fluorapatite (CFAp)
and silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite (SiHAp) have been studied by using micro-Raman …

In human bone, an amorphous mineral serves as a precursor to the formation of a highly
substituted nanocrystalline apatite. However, the precise role of this amorphous mineral …

The structure of the Ca–P solid phase in bone was first identified by deJong in 1926 as a
crystalline calcium phosphate similar to geological apatite by chemical analyses and, most …
