A peptide sequence SVSVGMKPSPRP that selectively recognizes hydroxyapatite (HA) is
identified by using a phage display approach. The engineered sequence exhibits chemical …

Apatite-binding peptides discovered by phage display provide an alternative design method
for creating functional biomaterials for bone and tooth tissue repair. A limitation of this …

The genesis of bone and teeth involves highly coordinated processes, which involve
multiple cell types and proteins that direct the nucleation and crystallization of inorganic …

Biological and biomimetic synthesis of inorganics have been a major focus in hard tissue
engineering as well as in green processing of advanced materials. Among the minerals …

The biogenesis of inorganic/organic composite materials such as bone typically involves the
process of templated mineralization. Biomimetic synthesis of bone-like materials therefore …

We report selection and characterization of hydroxyapatite-binding heptapeptides from a
peptide− phage library and demonstrate the effects of two peptides, with different binding …

With recent developments of molecular biomimetics that combine genetic engineering and
nanotechnology, peptides can be genetically engineered to bind specifically to inorganic …

A novel composite material consisting of calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CdHAP)
biomimetically deposited in a bacterial cellulose hydrogel was synthesized and …

A peptide-based hydrogel has been designed that directs the formation of hydroxyapatite.
MDG1, a twenty-seven residue peptide, undergoes triggered folding to form an …

Abstract Design of biomaterials for cell-based therapies requires presentation of specific
physical and chemical cues to cells, analogous to cues provided by native extracellular …
