Collagen biomineralization is regulated by complicated interactions between the collagen
matrix and non-collagenous extracellular proteins. Here, the use of sodium tripolyphosphate …

Bone is an organic–inorganic hierarchical biocomposite. Its basic building block is
mineralized collagen fibers with both intrafibrillar and extrafibrillar mineralization, which is …

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

The use of polymer additives that stabilize fluidic amorphous calcium phosphate is key to
obtaining intrafibrillar mineralization of collagen in vitro. On the other hand, this biomimetic …

Biomineralization of bone, a controlled process where hydroxyapatite nanocrystals
preferentially deposit in collagen fibrils, is achieved by the interplay of the collagen matrix …

Biomineralization templated by organic molecules to produce inorganic-organic
nanocomposites is a fascinating example of nature using bottom-up strategies at nanoscale …

Immobilization of phosphoproteins on a collagen matrix is important for the induction of
intrafibrillar apatite mineralization. Unlike phosphate esters, polyphosphonic acid has no …

Nanoscale replication of the hierarchical organization of minerals in biogenic mineralized
tissues is believed to contribute to the better mechanical properties of biomimetic collagen …

Mineralized fibrils are important building blocks in bone tissue, formed by the hierarchical
assembly of collagen molecules and crystalline hydroxyapatite (HAp). The mineralization …

To develop a suitable substitute material for bone tissue repair and replacement, designing
an artificial collagen-apatite scaffold mimicking the composition and hierarchical structure of …
