Abstract Drug-induced calculi represent 1–2% of all renal calculi. The drugs reported to
produce calculi may be divided into two groups. The first one includes poorly soluble drugs …

Calcium phosphate apatites offer outstanding biological adaptability that can be attributed to
their specific physico-chemical and structural properties. The aim of this review is to …

Infection stones—which account for 10–15% of all urinary calculi—are thought to form in the
presence of urease-producing bacteria. These calculi can cause significant morbidity and …

Biomineralization of skeletal components (eg, bone and teeth) is generally accepted to
occur under strict cellular regulation, leading to mineral–organic composites with …

Infection stones are complex aggregates of crystals amalgamated in an organic matrix that
are strictly associated with urinary tract infections. The management of patients who form …

Interactions between molecular modifiers and crystal surfaces govern numerous processes
and structural outcomes of natural, biological, and synthetic crystallization. An efficient …

Kidney stone disease is a polygenic and multifactorial disorder with a worldwide distribution,
and its incidence and prevalence are increasing. Although significant progress has been …

Objectives This study investigated the stage-specific and location-specific deposition and
characteristics of minerals in human osteoarthritis (OA) cartilages via multiple nano …

Idiopathic kidney stones originate mainly from calcium phosphate deposits at the tip of renal
papillae, known as Randall's plaques (RPs), also detected in most human kidneys without …

In this contribution dedicated to kidney stones containing Whitlockite (Wk), we addressed
three questions, namely, the presence of iron in Wk, the relationship between bacterial …
