Bone substitutes are being increasingly used in surgery as over two millions bone grafting
procedures are performed worldwide per year. Autografts still represent the gold standard …

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 …

Bone regeneration has gained attention in the biomedical field, which has led to the
development of materials and synthesis methods meant to improve osseointegration and …

Ionic substitutions have been proposed as a tool to improve the biological performance of
calcium phosphate based materials. This review provides an overview of the recent results …

Calcium orthophosphates are the main mineral constituents of bones and teeth, and there is
great interest in understanding the physical mechanisms that underlie their growth …

Biodegradable metals have been suggested as revolutionary biomaterials for bone-grafting
therapies. Of these metals, magnesium (Mg) and its biodegradable alloys appear to be …

Calcium phosphates such as hydroxyapatite have a wide range of applications both in bone
grafts and for the coating of metallic implants, largely as a result of their chemical similarity to …

The incorporation of Mg in hydroxyapatite (HA) was investigated using multinuclear solid
state NMR, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and computational modeling. High …

The incorporation of magnesium ions (in the range 5–10 mol% in respect to Ca) into the
hydroxyapatite structure, which is of great interest for the develo** of artificial bone, was …

Synthetic hydroxyapatites are widely used in bone tissue engineering because of their
similar composition with the inorganic phase of hard tissues. Biological apatites, however …
