Colloidal synthesis and characterization of monocrystalline apatite nanophosphors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of 12 nm long, ultrafine, individualized calcium phosphate nanorods. Synthesis of these nanobuilding blocks involved the preparation of a calcium phosphate hybrid precursor containing an aminophosphate ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Orofacial Features, Oral Health-Related Quality of Life, and Exposure to Bullying in Osteogenesis Imperfecta: A Cross-Sectional Study

open access: yesChildren
Background/Objectives: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disease that is responsible for bone fragility, but also for dental malocclusions and dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI). The aim of this study was to assess whether the severity of dental

On the Application of Calcium Phosphate Micro- and Nanoparticles as Food Additive

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2022
The human body needs calcium and phosphate as essential nutrients to grow bones and teeth, but they are also necessary for many other biochemical purposes (e.g., the biosynthesis of phospholipids, adenosine triphosphate, ATP, or DNA).

The Calcium Phosphate−Calcium Carbonate System: Growth of Octacalcium Phosphate on Calcium Carbonates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The kinetics of nucleation and crystal growth of octacalcium phosphate [Ca8(PO4)6H2·5H2O, OCP] from calcium phosphate supersaturated solutions inoculated with seed crystals was investigated at 37 °C, pH 7.40, at conditions of constant solution ...

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Scanning electron microscopy for blood micro-crystals in aortic stenosis patients. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
BACKGROUND:Micro-crystals of calcium phosphate have been detected on the aortic valve of patients with aortic stenosis using scanning electron microscopy. It is not known whether crystalisation is specific to heart valve tissue or a general blood-derived

Diagnostic analysis of RO desalting treated waste water [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Diagnostic analysis of reverse osmosis membranes that were fed with Western treatment plant (WTP) recycled water was investigated by both thermodynamic calculations and laboratory experiments in order to predict the feasibility of RO desalting for WTP.
