This review presents an overview of the characterization techniques available to
experimentally evaluate bone quality, defined as the geometric and material factors that …

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has emerged as an effective tool in various spheres of
biomedical research, amongst which metabolomics is an important method for the study of …

The aim of this study was to synthesize and characterize a nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAP) and
calcium sulfate bone substitute (NC) for cranioplasty. The NC was functionalized with low …

Raloxifene (RAL) reduces clinical fracture risk despite modest effects on bone mass and
density. This reduction in fracture risk may be due to improved material level-mechanical …

Bone is a fascinating biomaterial composed mostly of type-I collagen fibers as an organic
phase, apatite as an inorganic phase, and water molecules residing at the interfaces …

Lysozyme is widely known to promote the formation of condensed silica networks from
solutions containing silicic acid, in a reproducible and cost-effective way. However, little is …

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a principal well-established technique
for analysis of chemical, biological, food and environmental samples. This article provides …

Structural stability of various collagen-containing biomaterials such as bones and cartilage
is still a mystery. Despite the spectroscopic development of several decades, the detailed …

Bone is a hierarchical architecture that consists of both inorganic and organic components.
The organic components, including collagen and numerous non-collagenous biomolecules …

The unique potential of solid-state NMR (SSNMR) spectroscopy to provide atomistic-scale
piercing insights into the structure and dynamics of complex biomaterials, such as the …
