Precipitated Calcium Carbonate Nano-Microparticles: Applications in Drug Delivery
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is an abundant mineral that has several uses in paper [1], Portland cement [2] and steel making [3], as agricultural input for soil modification [4], and food additive in soy milk and dairy products. Due to its high biocompatibility, CaCO3 is also employed in many pharmaceutical (anti-acid, dietary supplement for child and postmenopausal women), biological (scaffolds f...
متن کاملPhase transitions in biogenic amorphous calcium carbonate.
Crystalline biominerals do not resemble faceted crystals. Current explanations for this property involve formation via amorphous phases. Using X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy and photoelectron emission microscopy (PEEM), here we examine forming spicules in embryos of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus sea urchins, and observe a sequence of three mineral phases: hydrated amo...
متن کاملStructural characterization of amorphous calcium carbonate-binding protein: an insight into the mechanism of amorphous calcium carbonate formation.
ACC (amorphous calcium carbonate) plays an important role in biomineralization process for its function as a precursor for calcium carbonate biominerals. However, it is unclear how biomacromolecules regulate the formation of ACC precursor in vivo. In the present study, we used biochemical experiments coupled with bioinformatics approaches to explore the mechanisms of ACC formation controlled by...
متن کاملBiocompatibility of Porous Spherical Calcium Carbonate Microparticles on Hela Cells
Recently there has been a wide concern on inorganic nanoparticles as drug delivery carriers. CaCO3 particles have shown promising potential for the development of carriers for drugs, but little research had been performed regarding their safe dosage for maximizing the therapeutic activity without harming biosystems. In this study, we assessed the biological safety of porous spherical CaCO3 micr...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of amorphous calcium carbonate microlens arrays
Biological materials are often based on simple constituents and grown by the principle of self-assembly under ambient conditions. In particular, biomineralization approaches exploit efficient pathways of inorganic material synthesis. There is still a large gap between the complexity of natural systems and the practical utilization of bioinspired formation mechanisms. Here we describe a simple s...
