Natural biominerals are usually composite materials produced through mineralization of
inorganic crystals within an organic matrix. Silk fibroin is known to be capable of directing …

Bone biomineralization is a well-regulated protein-mediated process where hydroxylapatite
(HAP) crystals are nucleated with preferred orientation within the self-assembled protein …

The influence of silk fibroin (SF) on calcium carbonate (CaCO3) biomineralization has been
investigated; however, the formation of small, uniform SF-regulated vaterite microspheres …

The synthesis of hematite mesocrystals with a tunable hierarchical nanostructure plays a
critical role in the construction of improved functional materials. We have demonstrated that …

Silk fibroin (SF), which has been used as an analogue of the silk-like proteins in studying the
biomineralization process of calcium carbonate in vitro, shows a high preference for the …

In the present study, silk fibroin was employed to regulate the mineralization of
hydroxyapatite (HA) nanocrystals. The calcium phosphate crystals precipitated in the …

Biomineralization refers to the process through which minerals nucleate in a structured
manner to form specific crystal structures by the regulating of biomacromolecules …

As an analogue of the main protein contained in naturally formed nacre, reconstituted silk
fibroin (SF) from the Bombyx mori silkworm silk shows a strong preference for the formation …

Silk fibroin is a promising biomaterial that has been used for tissue engineering applications.
However, the influence of silk fibroin on the mineralization of calcium phosphate in different …

As known, silk fibroin-like protein plays a pivotal role during the formation of calcium
carbonate (CaCO 3) crystals in the nacre sheets. Here, we have prepared silk fibroin/sodium …
