Biomineralized structures and tissues are composites, containing a biologically produced
organic matrix and nano-or microscale amorphous or crystalline minerals. Two main …

Abstract Hydroxyapatite (HAp)/collagen‐based composite materials have been a constant in
the development of bioinspired materials for bone tissue engineering. The most fundamental …

In nature, organisms control crystal nucleation and growth using organic interfaces as
templates. Scientists, in the last decades, have tried to learn from nature how to design …

Methotrexate (MTX), an anchor drug for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), has been suffered from
refractoriness and high toxicity limiting effective dosage. To mitigate these challenges, the …

The in vivo stability and tumor targetability of self-assembled polymeric nanoparticles are
crucial for effective drug delivery. In this study, to develop biostable nanoparticles with high …

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

Due to extensive exploitation of non-renewable phosphate minerals, their natural reserves
will exhaust very soon. This necessitates looking for alternatives and an efficient …

Over the past two decades, major effort has been dedicated to the metal-directed self-
assembly of discrete one-, two-, or three-dimensional frameworks. In addition to their …

Breast cancer stem cell (BCSC) properties are correlated with the malignancy of tumor cells.
Sulforaphane (SFN), a natural isothiocyanate, has anti-cancer effects. However, SFN is an …
