On Mineral Retrosynthesis of a Complex Biogenic Scaffold

Inorganics, 2017
Synergistic relations between organic molecules and mineral precursors regulate biogenic mineralization. Given the remarkable material properties of the egg shell as a biogenic ceramic, it serves as an important model to elucidate biomineral growth. With

Positive Zeta Potential in Sandstones Saturated With Natural Saline Brine

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
It is widely accepted that the zeta potential in natural sandstones is negative in the brine pH and compositions found in the subsurface. The zeta potential is a measure of the electrical potential at a mineral surface.

Aqueous Two‐Phase Bioinks for Discrete Packing and Compartmentalization of 3D Bioprinted Cells

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Aqueous two‐phase systems (ATPS) enable the formation of biomimetic interfaces crucial for tissue engineering. However, clinical translation remains limited by the challenge of precisely controlling cellular compartmentalization. Here, we developed ATPS biomaterial inks for 3D bioprinting allowing tuneable droplet formation via NaCl modulation.

Easily synthesized carbon dots for determination of mercury(II) in water samples

Heliyon, 2019
In this work, a simple thermal method was used to synthesize carbon dots from citric acid and glycine precursors. It was found that Hg(II) ions can selectively quench the fluorescence emission of these carbon dots. Subsequently, a sensor was designed and

Ion Adsorption at Clay-Mineral Surfaces: The Hofmeister Series for Hydrated Smectite Minerals [PDF]

Clays and Clay Minerals, 2016
AbstractMany important properties of clay minerals are defined by the species of charge-balancing cation. Phenomena such as clay swelling and cation exchange depend on the cation species present, and understanding how the cations bind with the mineral surface at a fundamental level is important.

Immunoinflammatory Mechanisms and Biocompatibility of Bioactive Dental Biomaterials: From Fundamental Insights to Clinical Translation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Surface‐host dialogue at the implant interface governs biological fate and osseointegration. Surface physicochemical properties of titanium (Ti) dental implants, including microgrooves, nanopatterns, nanotopography, roughness, and wettability, modulate the initial adsorption of proteins and the formation of a dynamic biointerface.

Influence of Some Mineral Ions on Lipid Peroxidation in Vitro [PDF]

Prague Medical Report, 2012
Recently, a growing interest has been recorded in mineral content of mammalian diet, which might impair their development. Focused on the topic, we studied the effect of Al 3+ , Si 4+ , Sr 2+ and Na
