The human body has sophisticated defenses against the deposition of calcium minerals that stiffen heart tissues, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and collaborators at UCLA ...

Amorphous calcium phosphates, an inorganic host material, may prove effective in promoting bone formation. Virginia and Maryland researchers are trying to design a composite material for oral ...

Calcium phosphate is the biomineral most relevant for our day-to-day lives, as it forms the main constituent of bone and teeth 5,6,7. Calcium phosphate deposition also plays an important role in ...

Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have discovered how our bones grow at an atomic level, showing how an unstructured mass orders itself into a perfectly arranged bone ...

The research community has been divided over the effectiveness of calcium phosphate products in remineralizing teeth and reversing caries progression. But evidence supporting the use of amorphous ...

Generally, tendon injuries are caused due to trauma or gradual wear and tear from overuse or aging. Structurally, tendons—as well as their associated extracellular matrices—are comprised of ...

Editor's Note: A few years ago there were no calcium phosphate products to be had and now they seem to be everywhere and in every form. It's confusing, and our October report sorting out these ...

LMU researchers have developed a novel type of nanoparticle that efficiently and selectively kills cancer cells, thus opening up new therapeutic options for the treatment of tumors. Many ...
