Book ChapterDOI
Biomimetic Materials for Medical Application Through Enzymatic Modification
TL;DR: The most significant research efforts dedicated to the study and the preparation of biomimetic materials through enzymatic modifications were reviewed, and the functionalizations of different polymeric matrices obtained through the catalytic activity of two enzymes were discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoscale Strontium-Substituted Hydroxyapatite Pastes and Gels for Bone Tissue Regeneration
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the preparation of a systematic substitution up to 100% at the nanoscale of strontium-substituted hydroxyapatite (SrHA) materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
