The growing incidence of skeletal fractures poses a significant challenge to ageing
societies. Since a major part of physiological loading in the lower limbs is carried by cortical …

The present overview is intended to point the readers' attention to the important subject of
calcium orthophosphates (CaPO 4). This type of materials is of the special significance for …

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 …

Chemically cross-linked cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) aerogels possess many properties
