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 …

Bone, as a mineralized composite of inorganic (mostly carbonated hydroxyapatite) and
organic (mainly type I collagen) phases, possesses a unique combination of remarkable …

Bioinspired stem cell-based hard tissue engineering includes numerous aspects: The
synthesis and fabrication of appropriate scaffold materials, their analytical characterization …

Coastal countries have traditionally relied on the existing marine resources (eg, fishing,
food, transport, recreation, and tourism) as well as tried to support new economic endeavors …

Marine sponges are able to process a variety of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P),
and silicon (Si) dissolved compounds, in addition to the particulate C, N, and P obtained …

We present a perspective on the molecular evolution of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in
metazoa that draws on research publications and data from sequenced genomes and …

Marine organisms are constituted by materials with a vast range of properties and
characteristics that may justify their potential application within the biomedical field …

Biomineralisation of collagen involves functional motifs incorporated in extracellular matrix
protein molecules to accomplish the objectives of stabilising amorphous calcium phosphate …

Organisms produce various organic/inorganic hybrid materials, which are called
biominerals. They form through the self-organization of organic molecules and inorganic …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is the main inorganic component of human bone. Inspired by nacre and
cortical bone, hydroxyapatite-based coil scaffolds were successfully prepared. The scaffolds …
