Biologically formed hard tissues, referred to as biominerals, have intrigued the materials
engineering community for years because of the high degree of crystallographic control that …

Bioceramics, because of its excellent biocompatible and mechanical properties, has always
been considered as the most promising materials for hard tissue repair. It is well know that …

Enamel is a hard nanocomposite bioceramic with significant resilience that protects the
mammalian tooth from external physical and chemical damages. The remarkable …

To understand early mineralization events, we studied living murine calvarial tissue by
Raman spectroscopy using fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2)-soaked porous beads. We …

Mature tooth enamel is acellular and does not regenerate itself. Developing technologies
that rebuild tooth enamel and preserve tooth structure is therefore of great interest …

Although both tooth enamel and bone are composed of organized assemblies of carbonated
apatite crystals, enamel is unusual in that it does not contain collagen nor does it remodel …

In recent years, the prevalence of hydrogel‐like organic matrices in biomineralization has
gained attention as a route to synthesizing a diverse range of crystalline structures. Here …

Enamel is a highly organized hierarchical nanocomposite, which consists of parallel arrays
of elongated apatitic crystallites forming an intricate three-dimensional microstructure …

Reconstructing enamel-like structures on teeth have been an important topic of study in the
material sciences and dentistry. The important role of amelogenin in modulating the …

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