Scientists in the US have created a method to convert human urine into hydroxyapatite, the mineral found in bones and teeth, ...

Objective High serum calcium and phosphate levels have been linked to cardiovascular diseases and all-cause mortality but evidence from longitudinal studies is scarce, especially among patients with ...

Multiphasic calcium phosphate powders were synthesized by the acidic route, using lactic acid as a chelating agent that allows the production of a stable and rich solution of calcium and phosphate ...

On observing urine samples under polarization microscope, no crystal deposition was observed in control animals (Figure-4a), whereas group II rats revealed presence of abundant CaOx crystals ...

Calcium oxalate nephroliths in these individuals are often attached to Randall's plaques. [9, 10] The formation or attachment of calcium oxalate crystals on these plaques is probably critical for ...

They can be classified as common, pathologic and drug-associated. The finding of calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate or uric acid crystals is common and often of little clinical significance.

A series of biocomposite materials was successfully prepared by reinforcing advanced calcium phosphate cement with hydroxyapatite fibrous and elongated plate-like particles. Powder X-ray diffraction ...

Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) is a growth factor that effectively promotes osteogenesis. Microsphere-based drug-delivery systems can facilitate an increase in the local concentration of BMP, thus ...

These particles are known as tartrate crystals, or “wine diamonds,” that sit at the bottom of your bottle or glass. The crystals can look like little pieces of glass, which is why some wine drinkers ...
