Iron phosphate mediated magnetite synthesis: a bioinspired approach

Giulia Mirabello

The biomineralization of intracellular magnetite in magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) is an area of active investigation. Previous work has provided evidence that magnetite biomineralization begins with the formation of an amorphous phosphate-rich ferric hydrox ...

Fretting corrosion between bone and calcium phosphate-calcium titanate coatings

Stefano Mischler

Biocompatibility is one of the biggest challenges for biomaterials development. This issue arises in the case of coatings. Calcium phosphate (CP) coatings are currently used to cover femoral stem implants, while calcium titanate (CT) has also been proposed ...

Calcium phosphate formation on titanium-based surfaces: bioactivity evaluated by in vitro methods

Weitian Zhao

The prediction of implant behaviors in vivo by the use of easy-to-perform in vitro methods is of great interest in biomaterials research. In the field of bone implants, it is commonly accepted that a spontaneous formation of a hydroxyapatite (HA) layer on ...

Strontium hydroxyapatite and strontium carbonate as templates for the precipitation of calcium-phosphates in the absence and presence of fluoride

Janet Gordon Hering, Michèle Bernadette Heeb

The heterogeneous precipitation of calcium phosphates on calcium hydroxyapariLe (Ca-10(PO4)(4)OH)(2) or HAP) in the presence arid absence of fluoride is important in the formation of bone and teeth, protection against tooth decay, dental and skeletal fluor ...

Growth of osteosarcoma cells in a three-dimensional bone-like matrix alters their susceptibility to adeno-associated virus

Peter Martin Beard

Osteosarcoma cells U2OS are partially susceptible to adeno-associated virus (AAV)-2 infection, allowing efficient synthesis of Rep proteins and, in a low percentage of cells, capsid production. It is not clear if this partial susceptibility to infection is ...

The Phosphate Specific Transport (Pst) System in Fast- and Slow-Growing Mycobacteria

Cyntia De Piano

Although mycobacteria are known to accumulate polyphosphate (PolyP), a linear polymer of orthophosphate, when subjected to stresses, the exact roles of this molecule are not yet clearly understood. We found that deletion of the pstA gene encoding for a tra ...

Calcium phosphate cement augmentation of cancellous bone screws can compensate for the absence of cortical fixation

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Vincent Stadelmann

An obvious means to improve the fixation of a cancellous bone screw is to augment the surrounding bone with cement. Previous studies have shown that bone augmentation with Calcium Phosphate (CaP) cement significantly improves screw fixation. Nevertheless, ...

P-31 Solid-State NMR Study of the Chemical Setting Process of a Dual-Paste Injectable Brushite Cements

Jacques Lemaître

The composition and evolution of a brushite-type calcium phosphate cement was investigated by Solid-State NMR and X-ray during the setting process. The cement is obtained by mixing beta-tricalcium phosphate [Ca-3(PO4)(2), beta-TCP] and monocalcium phosphat ...

Bone substitute: Transforming beta-tricalcium phosphate porous scaffolds into monetite

Jacques Lemaître

The goal of the present study was to assess the possibility to change the composition of a calcium phosphate scaffold from a high-temperature phase to a phase only stable at or close to room temperature without macrostructural changes. For that purpose, ma ...
