Enhanced stability and local structure in biologically relevant amorphous materials containing pyrophosphate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
There is increasing evidence that amorphous inorganic materials play a key role in biomineralisation in many organisms, however the inherent instability of synthetic analogues in the absence of the complex in vivo matrix limits their study and clinical ...

Production, by co-grinding in a media mill, of porous biodegradable polylactic acid-apatite composite materials for bone tissue engineering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper presents the results of a study of the production of porous biodegradable composite materials by co-grinding, followed by scaffolding. Dry powders of polylactic acid and nanocrystalline carbonated apatite, analogous to bone mineral were co ...

Review: Tailored microstructures in the system tricalcium phosphate-wollastonite-diopside for bone regeneration scaffolds

open access: yesOpen Ceramics, 2023
Tissue engineering constructs (TECs) combining resorbable scaffolds, cells and/or reactive agents are required for bone regeneration. New green ceramic processing methods allow fabricating layered and gradient porous structures.

Regulating the antibiotic drug release from ß-tricalcium phosphate ceramics by atmospheric plasma surface engineering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Calcium phosphate (CaP) ceramics are of interest in bone substitution due to their good biocompatibility and bioresorbability. Currently certain CaPs in the market are loaded with antibiotics in order to prevent infections but further control is needed ...

Bioceramics: spark plasma sintering (SPS) of calcium phosphates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Calcium phosphates (Ca-P) are major constituents of calcified tissues, and are also extensively used for the elaboration of biomaterials. However, the usual high-temperature sintering processes generally lead to strong alterations of their chemical ...

A Smart Bio‐Battery Facilitates Diabetic Bone Defect Repair Via Inducing Macrophage Reprogramming and Synergistically Modulating Bone Remodeling Coupling

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This research presents a novel implantable bio‐battery, GF‐OsG, tailored for diabetic bone repair. GF‐OsG generates microcurrents in high‐glucose conditions to enhance vascularization, shift macrophages to the M2 phenotype, and regulate immune responses.

Mn-containing bioceramics inhibit osteoclastogenesis and promote osteoporotic bone regeneration via scavenging ROS

open access: yesBioactive Materials, 2021
Osteoporosis is caused by an osteoclast activation mechanism. People suffering from osteoporosis are prone to bone defects. Increasing evidence indicates that scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) can inhibit receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ...

Insight into the Internal Structure of Biogenic, Synthetic and Geological Apatite by Electron Microscopy and X‐Ray Scattering

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Apatite occurs in many forms in nature, e.g. in teeth and geological minerals. Internally, biological apatite contains nanocrystals that are also found in synthetically prepared calcium phosphate nanoparticles which are used in biomedicine, e.g. for gene and drug delivery and for bone regeneration. Abstract Calcium phosphate is the inorganic component (
