Abstract Intracellular calcium (Ca 2+ ) is a key signaling element that involved in great variety of fundamental biological processes. Thus, Ca deregulation would be the cancer cell progression and damage mitochondrial membrane DNA, which lead to apoptosis necrosis. In this study, we have prepared amorphous phosphate nanoparticles (ACP NPs) for studied their incorporation by endocytosis or elec...

It is increasingly important that we learn how to fabricate materials in environmentally friendly ways using common resources that are abundant in nature. Biomineralization, the process by which living organisms create a variety of sophisticated composites, such as bone and shell, is an ideal model for such fabrication. This article reviews recent progress toward the synthesis of polymer–inorga...

The hybrid nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP)-catalase (CAT) developed by in situ biomineralization can create a stable semi-aqueous nanoscale environment for entrapped proteins against thermal denaturation. This finding indicates the importance of an amorphous mineral phase in the preservation of organic macromolecules.

      Calcium acetate is used as an oral phosphate binder to control hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic renal failure. Compared to calcium carbonate, control of hyperphosphatemia can be achieved at lower calcium administration with calcium acetate which likely reduces the risk of hypercalcemia. In this study, various formulations of calcium acetate tablets were prepared and their disint...

objectives: the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the retentive strength of orthodontic bands cemented with amorphous calcium phosphate (acp)-containing and conventional glass ionomer cements (gics). materials and methods: one-hundred-and-twenty mandibular third molars were embedded in acrylic resin blocks with the buccal surface of crowns perpendicular to the base of the mold. the ...

conclusions cigarette smoking and bmi are two main confounding factors affecting the correlation of calcium and phosphate concentrations in the saliva and periodontal status. background periodontitis is a multi-factorial disease related to the formation of dental plaque. saliva composition plays a role in plaque formation and in the development of periodontal disease. objectives this study was ...
