Nanocrystalline calcium phosphate apatites constitute the main inorganic part of hard
tissues, and a growing focus is devoted to prepare synthetic analogs, so-called “biomimetic” …

Vibrational spectroscopies are extensively used for the characterization of calcium
phosphates either as natural biological minerals (bone, teeth, ectopic calcifications) or as …

Development of effective therapies to control oral biofilms is challenging, as topically
introduced agents must avoid rapid clearance from biofilm–tooth interfaces while targeting …

The aim of the current work was to study the physico-chemical interactions of a
bisphosphonate molecule, risedronate, with a well-characterised synthetic nanocrystalline …

The development of non-toxic and biodegradable magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) that can be
easily functionalized with drugs or biomolecules and employed, under magnetic fields, as …

Biomimetic apatites are appealing compounds for the elaboration of bioactive bone-repair
scaffolds due to their intrinsic similarity to bone mineral. Bone surgeries are however often …

Synthetic calcium phosphates (CaPs) are the most widely accepted bioceramics for the
repair and reconstruction of bone tissue defects. The recent advancements in materials …

Driven by flexibility, precision, repeatability and eco-friendliness, laser-based technologies
have attracted great interest to engineer or to analyze materials in various fields including …

Heterogenised homogeneous catalysis is commonly performed with molecular catalysts
grafted on solids via adsorption or via a covalent molecular link. Covalent grafting of organic …

Bisphosphonates (BPs) are well established as an important class of drugs for the treatment
