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 …

Bioactive glasses were the first synthetic materials to show bonding to bone, and they are
successfully used for bone regeneration. They can degrade in the body at a rate matching …

Despite the widespread observations on the osteogenic effects of magnesium ion (Mg2+),
the diverse roles of Mg2+ during bone healing have not been systematically dissected …

Mesoporous bioactive glasses have been widely investigated for applications in bone tissue
regeneration and, more recently, in soft tissue repair and wound healing. In this study we …

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 …

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

Magnesium-substituted hydroxyapatite (Mg-HAp) powders with different crystallinity levels
were prepared at room temperature via a heterogeneous reaction between Mg (OH) 2/Ca …

Organisms use inorganic ions and macromolecules to regulate crystallization from
amorphous precursors, endowing natural biominerals with complex morphologies and …

Biomaterial development is currently the most active research area in the field of biomedical
engineering. The bioglasses possess immense potential for being the ideal biomaterials …
