Uniaxial Hydroxyapatite Growth on a Self-Assembled Protein Scaffold

Uniaxial Hydroxyapatite Growth on a Self-Assembled Protein Scaffold

Biomineralization is a crucial process whereby organisms produce mineralized tissues such as teeth for mastication, bones for support, and shells for protection. Mineralized tissues are composed of hierarchically organized hydroxyapatite crystals, with a limited capacity to regenerate when demineral...
