Calcium phosphate is applied in many products in biomedicine, but also in toothpastes and
cosmetics. In some cases, it is present in nanoparticulate form, either on purpose or after …

Hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia associate with an elevated risk of cardiovascular
events, yet the pathophysiological basis of this association is unclear. Disturbed mineral …

Background: The liver-derived plasma protein fetuin-A is a systemic inhibitor of ectopic
calcification. Fetuin-A stabilizes saturated mineral solutions by forming colloidal protein …

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with reduced kidney size at birth,
accelerated renal function decline, and increased risk for chronic kidney and cardiovascular …

Background The liver-derived plasma protein fetuin A is a systemic inhibitor of ectopic
calcification. Fetuin-A stabilizes calcium phosphate mineral initially as ion clusters to form …

Protein-mineral interaction is known to regulate biomineral stability and morphology. We
hypothesise that fluid phases produce highly dynamic protein-mineral complexes involved …

It has been experimentally demonstrated that, under alkaline conditions, silica is able to
induce the formation of mineral self-assembled inorganic-inorganic composite materials …

Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (CCP) is a long-standing but re-
emerging environmental engineering process for production of self-healing concrete …

An association between high serum calcium/phosphate and cardiovascular events or death
is well-established. However, a mechanistic explanation of this correlation is lacking. Here …

Low molecular weight chitosan (LMWC) is a promising polymer for surface modification of
nanoparticles (NPs), which can impart both stealth effect and electrostatic interaction with …
