New silicate-substituted hydroxyapatite materials doped with silver ions as potential antifungal agents
Abstract Background Hydroxyapatites (HAp) are widely used as medical preparations for e.g., bone replacement or teeth implants. Incorporation of various substrates into HAp structures could enhance its biological properties, like biocompatibility or antimicrobial effects. Silver ions possess high an...
