Silk fibroin (SF) is a natural fibrous polymer with strong potential for many biomedical
applications. SF has attracted interest in the field of bone tissue engineering due to its …

Targeted delivery by either systemic or local targeting of therapeutics to the bone is an
attractive treatment for various bone metabolism diseases such as osteoporosis …

This second edition of the Bone Mechanics Handbook summarizes the current
understanding of bone mechanics with comprehensive coverage of the histology …

The high concentration of mineral present in bone and pathological calcifications is unique
compared with all other tissues and thus provides opportunity for targeted delivery of …

Silk fibroin biomaterials are being explored as novel protein-based systems for cell and
tissue culture. In the present study, biomimetic growth of calcium phosphate on porous silk …

To find new ways for the synthesis of improved bone implant materials, we studied the
mineralization of collagen in vitro. Collagen was mineralized by combining the collagen fibril …

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 …

An ideal therapeutic agent for bone diseases should act solely on bone tissue with no
pharmacological activity at other anatomical sites. Current therapeutic agents, however, do …

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

More than 85% of the global population requires repair or replacement of a craniofacial
structure. These defects range from simple tooth decay to radical oncologic craniofacial …
