Article Abstract
We report the synthesis of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HANPs) by the coprecipitation method using calcium D-gluconate and potassium hydrogen phosphate as the sources of calcium and phosphate ions, respectively, and the triblock copolymer F127 as a stabilizer. The HANPs were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms. Removal of F127 by solvent extraction or calcination alters the structure of HANPs. The solvent-extracted HANPs were single crystals with their 〈001〉 axis oriented along the rod axis of the HANP, whereas the calcined HANPs contained two crystal phases that resulted in a spherical morphology. The calcined HANPs had much higher surface area (127 m g) than the solvent-extracted HANPs (44 m g).

The development of functional materials for osteoporosis is essential for effective bone remodeling. In this context, the extraction of biocompatible implantable biomaterials from bio-waste emerges as a valuable strategy, addressing both environmental challenges and promoting human health. The objective of this work was to evaluate the physicochemical properties of the added-value by-product biomaterial (SS-90), extracted from sardine scales (Sardina Pilchardus) and combined with chitosan (SS-90-CH).

This study focuses on tripartite synthesis of Silver (AgNPs), Mesoporous Silica (MSNs), and Hydroxyapatite (n-HAp) nanoparticles with aqueous extract of Cissus quadrangularis (Veldt grape plant; Indian name: Pirandai) as a reducing agent. The dried and powdered form of the plant was subjected to aqueous extraction. The phytochemicals analysis was qualitatively estimated which detected the presence of alkaloid, tannin, phenol, terpenoid, steroid and saponin.

The CaO-SiO-PO system is one of the main systems studied aiming for the synthesis of new bioactive materials for bone regeneration. The interest in materials containing calcium-phosphate-silicate phases is determined by their biocompatibility, biodegradability, bioactivity, and osseointegration. The object of the present study is the synthesis by the sol-gel method of biocompatible glass-ceramics in the CaSiO-Ca(PO) subsystem with the composition 6CaSiO·Ca(PO) = Ca(PO)(SiO).

This study evaluated the physicochemical and morphological properties of tooth enamel in patients with caries-predisposing SNPs (rs4694075 in and rs2337359 in genes), based on the DMFT index. We included 40 of 120 individuals (aged 19-43), collecting stimulated saliva and 58 healthy teeth extracted for orthodontic/surgical reasons. Saliva DNA was genotyped.
