Acta Biomaterialia, 2022 Much debate still revolves around bone architecture, especially at the nano- and microscale. Bone is a remarkable material where high strength and toughness coexist thanks to an optimized composition of mineral and protein and their hierarchical organization across several distinct length scales.

Mathematical model for bone mineralization [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2015 Defective bone mineralization has serious clinical manifestations, including deformities and fractures, but the regulation of this extracellular process is not fully understood. We have developed a mathematical model consisting of ordinary differential equations that describe collagen maturation, production and degradation of inhibitors, and mineral ...

Mechanism of Bone Mineralization [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2018 Mineralized "hard" tissues of the skeleton possess unique biomechanical properties to support the body weight and movement and act as a source of essential minerals required for critical body functions. For a long time, extracellular matrix (ECM) mineralization in the vertebrate skeleton was considered as a passive process.

Bone and Mineral Metabolism [PDF]
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2005 Although bones are normally thought of as supporting structures that fracture when one falls, bone is actually a very active metabolic organ. It is vital in the regulation of calcium and phosphate metabolism, magnesium storage, and in buffering metabolic acido-sis. Bone and mineral metabolism and some of their disorders are presented in this article.

Bone Mineralization in Celiac Disease [PDF]
Gastroenterology Research and Practice, 2012 Evidence indicates a well-established relationship between low bone mineral density (BMD) and celiac disease (CD), but data on the pathogenesis of bone derangement in this setting are still inconclusive. In patients with symptomatic CD, low BMD appears to be directly related to the intestinal malabsorption.

The Angle Orthodontist, 2011 Abstract Objective: To verify whether bone mineral density (BMD) of cortical bone, trabecular bone, and total bone influence the primary stability of orthodontic miniscrews and to verify whether there is a correlation between the measurement of BMD by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and central ...

Mineralization of Hydrogels for Bone Regeneration [PDF]
Tissue Engineering Part B: Reviews, 2010 Hydrogels are an important class of highly hydrated polymers that are widely investigated for potential use in soft tissue engineering. Generally, however, hydrogels lack the ability to mineralize, preventing the formation of chemical bonds with hard tissues such as bone.

Bone mineralization and bone mineral metabolism in children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1996 AbstractObjective. To identify mechanisms of the osteopenia associated with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) by determining parameters of bone mineralization, and bone mineral content and density (BMC and BMD), in children with JRA.Methods. BMC and BMD were measured by dual x‐ray absorptiometry in 41 children with JRA and 62 healthy children.

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2012 This review attempts to summarize the findings made available by the literature on the mineralization of bone. The types of bone, their structures and compositions, the nature and organization of organic and inorganic matter, the organic-inorganic relationships, and the mineralization mechanism itself, are the main topics of the present review.
