...Matthew Fainor; Sonal Mahindroo; Kerri R. Betz; Janai Augustin; Harvey E. Smith; Robert L. Mauck; Sarah E. Gullbrand Varying degrees of hydroxyapatite (HA) surface functionalization have been implicated as the primary driver of differential osteogenesis observed in infiltrating cells. The ability...

...Yang Yang; Donald Mkhonto; Qiang Cui; Nita Sahai Bone sialoprotein (BSP) is an acidic, non-collagenous protein specific to bone proposed previously to promote hydroxyapatite (HAP) nucleation and modulate HAP nanocrystal growth. Specifically, two phosphorylated acidic amino acid sequences in BSP...

... Hydroxyapatite The crowns of 4 lower left deciduous 3rd incisors (Di3) of newborn wild-type pigs, 4 of CFTR- ΔF508, and 4 of CFTR- null animals [Rogers et al., 2008; Stoltz et al., 2010] were embedded in polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) resin and cut with a diamond band saw at a point below the cusp tip...

... and stored as TIFF files for quantification (see Quantification of GFP Expression Levels). As reference cells the mouse osteoblast-like 2T3 cells were used with a stable DMP1-GFP construct. Alkaline phosphatase Fibroblast Osteoblast Hydroxyapatite Periodontium Tissue engineering...

.... To compare apatite affinity, recombinant full-length human amelogenin (rh174) and mutated variants (P156T and P164T) were incubated with hydroxyapatite (HAP), and the unbound proteins were quantified by the Bradford assay. rh174 and mutants, as well as 3 oligopeptides, including wild-type peptide...

... groups. Four animals of each group were randomly chosen as experimental group in which osteopontin-coated hydroxyapatite (OPN-HA) and hydroxyapatite (HA) were inserted alternatively in created defects. To observe the spontaneous healing process of defects, one animal of each group was used as control...

...Martina Weissenböck; Elisabeth Stein; Gerhard Undt; Rolf Ewers; Günter Lauer; Dritan Turhani Hydroxyapatite (HA) microparticles as a carrier in an injectable tissue-engineered bone filler are considered promising candidates for the treatment of small bone defects in the craniomaxillofacial region...

...Adele L. Boskey; Marian F. Young; Tina Kilts; Kostas Verdelis Hydroxyapatite mineral is deposited in an organized fashion in the matrices of bones and teeth. The amount of mineral present, the composition of the mineral, and the size of the mineral crystals varies with both tissue and animal age...

...Stefan Rammelt; Eva Schulze; Martin Witt; Elisabeth Petsch; Achim Biewener; Wolfgang Pompe; Hans Zwipp The early interface reaction of cancellous bone to a nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) cement containing 3 wt% collagen type I (HA/Coll) with a setting under physiological temperature and pH...
