Biphasic calcium phosphate ceramics combine hydroxyapatite and β-tricalcium phosphate in a single biomaterial platform that offers both structural stability and controlled resorption. By adjusting the ...

This Journal feature begins with a case vignette highlighting a common clinical problem. Evidence supporting various strategies is then presented, followed by a review of formal guidelines, when they ...

Calcium phosphate materials occupy a central role in bone tissue engineering owing to their close chemical resemblance to the mineral phase of natural bone, inherent biocompatibility and tunable ...

HYPERCALCEMIA occurs in a wide variety of diseases (for example, hyperparathyroidism, hypervitaminosis D, sarcoid, cancer, hyperthyroidism and poliomyelitis) 1 and is often responsible for many of the ...

Most calcium phosphates are classified as resorbable biomaterials. This means that under physiological conditions they will dissolve. The benefit of calcium phosphate biomaterials is that the ...

The urinash process offers a novel approach to fertilizer production, converting waste into green ammonia and calcium ...

Your body uses hydroxyapatite to build and strengthen bones and teeth. Hydroxyapatite is a type of calcium phosphate. Calcification (calcinosis) occurs when abnormal amounts of calcium phosphate are ...

Microscopic spheres of calcium phosphate have been linked to the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a major cause of blindness. AMD affects 1 in 5 people over 75, causing their ...

Human teeth and bones that are ground into calcium phosphate ash after undergoing alkaline hydrolysis, an alternative process to burial or cremation, are not added to food. The U.S. Food and Drug ...
