Over the last several years, significant progress has been made toward understanding the
mechanisms involved in the mineralization of hard collagenous tissues, such as bone and …

Among the vertebrate species, collagen is the most abundant protein and is associated with
mineralization of their skeleton and dentition in all tissues except enamel. In such tissues …

Polyelectrolytes such as polyaspartic acid (PAsp) are critical in biomimetic mineralization as
stabilizers of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) precursors and as nucleation inhibitors …

Biomineralization in vertebrates is a ubiquitous and tightly regulated process which creates
hierarchical structures for the skeleton. Because of the lack of understanding and …

Renewable bio-based electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials receive
increasing attention undoubtedly. However, there is still a challenge to use raw biomass …

We propose a novel fluorescent adhesive-assisted biomimetic mineralization strategy,
based on which 1 wt% of sodium fluorescein and 25 wt% of polyacrylic acid stabilized …

Although deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic coding for the very essence of life,
these macromolecules or components thereof are not necessarily lost after a cell dies. There …

The self-assembly of apatite and proteins is a critical process to induce the formation of the
bones and teeth in vertebrates. Although hierarchical structures and biomineralization …

Minerals of biogenic origin form and crystallize from aqueous environments at ambient
temperatures and pressures. The in vivo environment either intracellular or intercellular …

In recent years, immense attention has been devoted over the production of osteoinductive
materials. To this direction, collagen has a dominant role in developing hard tissues and …
