A novel hybrid material with calcium and strontium release capability [PDF]
The preparation of PDMS–TEOS–CaO hybrid materials by sol–gel techniques has been widely described in previous works. Calcium nitrate is the most common source of calcium used in these preparations.

Effect of type of calcium phosphate on microstructure and properties of glass reinforced biocomposites [PDF]
In the present study two different types of calcium phosphates (synthetic calcium phosphates (SCP) and biogenic hydroxyapatite (BHA)) were used to produce porous biocomposites with addition of 35.5–41.0 wt% SiO2-Na2O-B2O3 glass.

Structural studies of hydrated samples of amorphous calcium phosphate and phosphoprotein nanoclusters [PDF]
There are abundant examples of nanoclusters and inorganic microcrystals in biology. Their study under physiologically relevant conditions remains challenging due to their heterogeneity, instability, and the requirements of sample preparation.

Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) is the first solid phase precipitated from a supersaturated calcium phosphate solution. Naturally, ACP is formed during the initial stages of biomineralization and stabilized by an organic compound. Carboxylic groups containing organic compounds are known to regulate the nucleation and crystallization of hydroxyapatite.

Preparation of a Resorbable Osteoinductive Tricalcium Phosphate Ceramic [PDF]
Over the past decade we have demonstrated numerous times that calcium phosphates can be rendered with osteoinductive properties by introducing specific surface microstructures1.

Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Calcium phosphate crystal forms in human jaw bones of changed osteoporotic structure [PDF]
Introduction. Calcium phosphates are chemical compounds that can be found in various forms within nature, as well as in human jaws and bones. The aim of this study was to assess the structure of solid chemical compounds which form the structure of ...

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

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