In the past few years biomimetics has come to calcified tissues. Biomimetics, a science
based on biological recognition, is based on the idea that biological systems store and …

Biomineralization is a natural process by which living organisms form minerals in
association with organic biostructures to form hybrid biological materials such as bone …

Publisher Summary In recent years, tissue engineering strategies have emerged with the
potential to develop tissue replacement parts. As a result of advances in the field of …

Biomineralization is the process by which mineral crystals are deposited in an organized
fashion in the matrix (either cellular or extracellular) of living organisms. Over the past 25 …

In nature, organisms control crystal nucleation and growth using organic interfaces as
templates. Scientists, in the last decades, have tried to learn from nature how to design …

Template-mediated mineralization describes a research field of materials chemistry that
deals with templates influencing product formation of foremost inorganic functional materials …

Biologically mineralized tissues are well recognized for their unusual crystal morphologies
and hierarchically organized composite structures. The soluble acidic macromolecules …

Advanced Topics in Biomineralization is a compendium of current topics focusing on
