Poorly crystalline apatites: evolution and maturation in vitro and in vivo

Abstract

Poorly crystalline apatites (PCA) are the major mineral component of mineralized tissues in vertebrates. Their physical-chemical properties are, however, not very well known due to their relative instability and the difficulties to characterize nanocrystalline compounds. Several studies using spectroscopic techniques (Fourier transform infrared [FTIR]; 31P nuclear magnetic resonance [NMR]) have demonstrated the existence, both in precipitated and biological PCA, of labile non-apatitic environments of the mineral ions. These environments are involved in the high surface reactivity and evolution ability of PCA and they are believed to form a hydrated layer at the surface of the nanocrystals in aqueous media. The extent of the hydrated layer may vary considerably depending on the conditions of precipitation and maturation time. As PCA age, the decrease of the non-apatitic environments proportion is associated with a decrease of intracrystalline disorder and an increase of stable apatitic domains. For synthetic and biological apatites, the carbonation rate of the mineral and the uptake of essential or toxic trace elements can be related to the maturation processes. The mineral ions of the hydrated layer can be easily and reversibly...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
