Inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) are promising drug delivery carriers owing to their high drug
loading efficiency, scalable preparation, facile functionalization, and chemical/thermal …

Calcium-based biomaterials have been intensively studied in the field of drug delivery owing
to their excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. Calcium-based materials can also …

Biomineralization is a process by which organisms regulate the combination of organic and
inorganic matter to build functional organic–inorganic hybrid materials. Due to their precise …

Intrafibrillar mineralization plays a critical role in attaining desired mechanical properties of
bone. It is well known that amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) infiltrates into the collagen …

Calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate are the main components of biominerals. Among
all of the forms of biominerals, amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) and amorphous …

The understanding of the mineralization of collagen for bone formation is a current key
theme in bone tissue engineering and is of great relevance to the fabrication of novel …

Calcium carbonate has been synthesized by the reaction of Na 2 CO 3 and CaCl 2 in the
presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and soluble starch. Effects of various bovine …

Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is known to interact with proteins, for example, in
biogenic ACC, to form stable amorphous phases. The control of amorphous/crystalline and …

We demonstrate that intrafibrillar, homogenous collagen biomineralization can be achieved
by controlling self-assembly under mildly alkaline conditions. Using dense collagen (DC) …
