Successful materials design for bone-tissue engineering requires an understanding of the
composition and structure of native bone tissue, as well as appropriate selection of …

Bacteria are prime cell factories that can efficiently convert carbon and nitrogen sources into
a large diversity of intracellular and extracellular biopolymers, such as polysaccharides …

Inorganic polyphosphates (polyP) consist of linear chains of orthophosphate residues,
linked by high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds. They are evolutionarily old biopolymers …

Calcium phosphate (CaP) deposition during bone mineralization starts with the aggregation
of Posner's clusters Ca 9 (PO 4) 6 into amorphous Ca-phosphate (ACP), which then …

Insufficient metabolic energy, in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and bacterial
infections are among the main causes for the development of chronic wounds. Previously …

Patients with bone and cartilage defects due to infection, tumors, and trauma are quite
common. Repairing bone and cartilage defects is thus a major problem for clinicians …

Abstract The three-dimensional (3D)-printing processes reach increasing recognition as
important fabrication techniques to meet the growing demands in tissue engineering …

Inorganic polyphosphates (polyP) are of increasing medical interest due to their
unprecedented ability to exhibit both morphogenetic and ATP-delivering properties …

Rationale: The pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is advancing
rapidly. In particular, the number of severe courses of the disease is still dramatically high …

Rebuilding mineralized tissues in skeletal and dental systems remains costly and
challenging. Despite numerous demands and heavy clinical burden over the world, sources …
