Recent developments on biomineralization and biomaterials have demonstrated that
proteins play an important role in the formation of biominerals in the body, which induce or …

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is the major biomineral of bone. Despite the large number of studies
addressing HAP formation, a fundamental understanding of the critical roles of HAP-forming …

This review provides a summary of recent research on biomimetic and bioinspired strategies
applied in the field of biomedical material engineering and focusing particularly on calcium …

The polymer-controlled and bioinspired precipitation of inorganic minerals from aqueous
solution at near-ambient or physiological conditions avoiding high temperatures or organic …

In hard tissues of vertebrates, calcium phosphate (CaP) biomineralization is a fascinating
process that combines specific physicochemical and biochemical reactions, resulting in the …

Materials chemists regard the complex processes involved in the formation of
biomineralized tissues with increasing interest.[1±5] Indeed, the organic/inorganic …

Biomineralization is the process by which mineral crystals are deposited in an organized
fashion in the matrix (either cellular or extracellular) of living organisms (Boskey, 1998). In …

Due to the similar chemical properties to the inorganic component in calcified tissues,
synthetic calcium phosphate has been considered as ideal biomaterials with excellent …

We studied the effect of surface-functional-group position on precipitate morphology in the
earliest stage of calcium phosphate biomineralization and determined the detailed …

An animal's hard tissue is mainly composed of crystalline calcium phosphate. In vitro, small
changes in the reaction conditions affect the species of calcium phosphate formed, whereas …
