Is it Botox, fillers or a new facelift? While many celebrities are looking 20 years younger, everyone is wondering what they ...

The FTIR spectra of hydroxyapatite of particle sizes 15 μm and 30 μm are similar but for HA-GIC composites, the FTIR spectra, the peak around 1460 cm−1 are due to C-H and the peak at 1553 cm−1 is due ...

(23) The structure, shape, and size of the synthesized calcium apatite nanopowders vary according to various synthesis processes. Therefore, it was concluded that any change in the synthesis process ...

The team synthesized hydroxyapatite nanoparticles by mixing aqueous solutions of calcium and phosphate ions ... by the presence of the crystalline structure of the apatite. Above the apatite ...

The scientific case for hydroxyapatite toothpaste is actually quite simple: Composed of calcium and phosphate ... It is incorporated into the enamel structure of the tooth itself, forming a ...

The HAp and Co-HAp nanocomposites show a spherical morphology. A decrease in particle size was observed with the doping of cobalt into the HAp structure, which increases its surface area. Both pure ...

When bones are boiled in water over extended periods, heat disrupts the hydrogen bonds stabilising the collagen fibrils, ...

Plants are very important living things. They have lots of jobs, such as providing animals with food and releasing oxygen into the air. To survive and carry out these jobs, they all need three ...

While the soft mechanics and tunable cell interactions facilitated by hydrogels have attracted significant interest in the development of functional hydrogel-based tissue engineering scaffolds, ...

Skimmed milk has a little more calcium than semi-skimmed, which in turn has a little more calcium than whole milk. The reason is simply that as the fat is removed, the watery proportion of the ...

We already knew that the structure of the armor of the dactyl club is layered, a bit like a lasagne. The impact surface is a fine layer of hydroxyapatite, a mineral mostly made up of calcium and ...
