α-Tricalcium phosphate: Synthesis, properties and biomedical applications
TLDR
It is as biocompatible as β-TCP, but more soluble, and hydrolyses rapidly to calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite, which makes α- TCP a useful component for preparing self-setting osteotransductive bone cements and biodegradable bioceramics and composites for bone repairing.About:

Characterization of Ca-phosphate biological materials by scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) at the Ca L2,3-, P L2,3- and C K-edges.
TL;DR: Scanning transmission X-ray microscopy analyses of Ca-phosphate reference compounds are presented, showing the feasibility of fingerprinting Ca- phosphate-based materials down to the scale of a few tens of nanometers and paving the way for future research on Ca-Phosphate biomineralization processes down to a few Tens of nanometer scales.

On the effect of temperature on the insertion of zinc into hydroxyapatite.
TL;DR: The results presented here strengthen the recently described mechanism of Zn insertion in the interstitial 2b Wyckoff position of the HAp structure, and explain the origin of the contradictory reports in the corresponding literature.

Effect of Mg(2+) doping on beta-alpha phase transition in tricalcium phosphate (TCP) bioceramics.
TL;DR: The kinetic contribution of Mg(2+) on the spontaneous α→β reconversion also upon fast cooling (i.e. quenching) is pointed out.
