Mysteries surrounding the most important mineral for vertebrate biology, hydroxyapatite, are
many. Perhaps the Greek root of its name, απαταo, meaning 'to deceive'and given to its …

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have various applications in biomedicine, including
imaging, drug delivery and release, genetic modification, cell guidance, and patterning. By …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are non-hematopoietic stem cells with the capacity to
differentiate into tissues of both mesenchymal and non-mesenchymal origin. MSCs can …

In this work, a paramagnetic nanofibrous composite film was fabricated with poly lactide,
hydroxyapatite and γ-Fe203 nanoparticles using the electrospinning technique. The …

Background Prevalence of osteoporosis is rapidly growing and so searching for novel
therapeutics. Yet, there is no drug on the market available to modulate osteoclasts and …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of membrane water channel proteins that control osmotically-
driven water transport across cell membranes. Recent studies have focused on the …

Magnetic poly (l-lactide)(PLLA)/Fe3O4 composite nanofibers were prepared with the
purpose to develop a substrate for bone regeneration. To increase the dispersibility of …

The fundamental elements of tissue regeneration are cells, biochemical signals and the
three-dimensional microenvironment. In the described approach, biomineralized-collagen …

The hollow magnetic hydroxyapatite [Ca10 (PO4) 6 (OH) 2, HAp] microspheres with
hierarchically mesoporous structures were hydrothermally fabricated using the similar …

Polyetherimide (PEI) was carboxylated by activating the PEI backbone with n-butyllithium
and subsequent treatment with dry carbon dioxide. This carboxylated form of PEI (CPEI) was …
