“Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is the main component of enamel and one of the most studied biomaterials in the medical and dental field,” Dr. Jonathan B. Levine, the chief dental officer of Lenny Kravitz’s ...

Catalysts based on transition metals have been of particular interest in various fields of science for some time now. They are used in pharmaceuticals, natural products, chemicals, aromatic ...

Commercially available hydroxyapatite powders exhibit a high degree of chemical variability. The crystal lattice quite readily undergoes substitutions, with ions such as CO 3 2-, HPO 4 2-and F-often ...

If these phages are exposed to the target surface--hydroxyapatite crystal in this case--and then washed off, those left behind are the ones that tend to stick. Cloning the survivors and repeating in ...

The precise role that basic calcium phosphate microcrystals have in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) is controversial. The recent paper by Jin et al. provides new insights into the potential ...
