Hydroxyapatite (HAp) exhibits excellent biocompatibility with soft tissues such as skin,
muscle and gums, making it an ideal candidate for orthopedic and dental implants or …

In this review we would like to aim at pharmaceuticals engineered on the nanoscale, ie
pharmaceuticals where the nanomaterial plays the pivotal therapeutic role or adds …

Calcium phosphates such as hydroxyapatite have a wide range of applications both in bone
grafts and for the coating of metallic implants, largely as a result of their chemical similarity to …

In this study, steam explosion (SE) treatment was applied to extract collagen peptides from
cattle bone. The SE treatment conditions included steam pressure: 1.5 MPa (200.43° C), 2.0 …

Multi-substituted hydroxyapatites (ms-HAPs) are currently gaining more consideration owing
to their multifunctional properties and biomimetic structure, owning thus an enhanced …

Paradigm-shifting modalities to more efficiently deliver drugs to cancerous lesions require
the following attributes: nanoscale-size, targetability, and stability under physiological …

Biological apatite is an inorganic calcium phosphate salt in apatite form and nano size with a
biological derivation. It is also the main inorganic component of biological hard tissues such …

This paper assesses anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge (WAS) at low pH to
enhance phosphorous solubility. Batch biochemical methane potential tests were conducted …

Watershed export of phosphorus (P) from anthropogenic sources has contributed to
eutrophication in freshwater and coastal ecosystems. We explore impacts of watershed …

In the present study, hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca5 (PO4) 3OH) with different morphologies, such
as nanorods, microspheres, hexagonal prisms, and hollow flowerlike structure, were …
