Throughout the course of evolution, organisms have produced biominerals with hierarchical
structures derived from organic templates. Over the last couple of decades, scientists have …

Living organisms are well known for building a wide range of specially designed organic–
inorganic hybrid materials such as bone, teeth, and shells, which are highly sophisticated in …

Biomimetic mineralization is a powerful approach for the synthesis of advanced materials
with complex shape, hierarchical organization and controlled size, shape and polymorph …

Living organisms in nature have undergone continuous evolution over billions of years,
resulting in the formation of high-performance fracture-resistant biomineralized tissues such …

In biology, organic-inorganic hybrid materials are used for several purposes, in particular, for
protection and mechanical support. These materials are generally optimized for their …

Strategies that attempt to mimic the well-defined structures or unique functions of natural
biological materials have succeeded in designing and synthesizing bio-inspired materials in …

Biomineralization refers to a native biosynthesis process whereby the organisms fabricate
hierarchical organic-inorganic composites for life maintenance, growth, and biological …

Biomineralization is an attractive pathway to produce mineral-based biomaterials with high
