MMP messenger RNA (mRNA) accumulation was determined either by northern blot analysis or reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of RNA from chondrocytes or HOAS treated with BCP ...

There are currently 2 leading hypotheses: first, magnesium may bind phosphate and delay calcium phosphate crystal growth in the circulation ... However, current evidence relies on basic experimental ...

Objectives Basic calcium phosphate (BCP) crystal and interleukin 6 (IL-6) have been implicated in osteoarthritis (OA). We hypothesise that these two factors may be linked in a reciprocal amplification ...

9 developed and described a biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) bone cement composed of HA/DCPA ... for 30 min in the dark at room temperature for solubilization of formazan crystals. The colorimetric ...

A new, water-based method extracts lithium compounds (white powder) from ground-up used batteries (black powder) in an ...

Thomas Blanchard, an incredibly imaginative filmmaker, placed potassium phosphate into dishes and photographed the crystallizations every sixty seconds as they grew into beautiful fractals.

Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that strontium is a safe and effective divalent metal ion for preventing osteoporosis, which has led to its incorporation in calcium phosphate-based ...

Disturbed mineral homeostasis and the associated hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia may result in the formation of circulating calciprotein particles (CPPs) that aggregate the excessive calcium and ...

The influence of the enzyme kinetics on the formation of guanine crystals was investigated by varying the concentrations of PNP, guanosine and phosphate ... were generally minor in both acidic and ...

can be extremely harmful to your kidneys by leading to phosphate crystal deposits. These deposits block the functioning of your kidneys, causing acute injury and loss of kidney function.

To help prevent cavities and gingivitis, the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends these four basic steps: Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes using a fluoride toothpaste.

Bisphosphonates are a valuable class of drugs with potent anti-resorptive actions that make them ideal for skeletal protection in osteoporosis, cancer bone metastasis, multiple myeloma, and Paget ...
