TLDR
Methods of quantitative X-ray texture analysis were used to determine the orientation distribution and texture strength of apatite in a calcified turkey tendon and in trabecular and cortical regions of osteonal bovine ankle bone (metacarpus).About:

Biomimetic Systems for Hydroxyapatite Mineralization Inspired By Bone and Enamel
Liam C. Palmer,Christina J. Newcomb,Stuart R. Kaltz,Erik David Spoerke,Erik David Spoerke,Samuel I. Stupp +5 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on the formation of hydroxyapatite in synthetic systems designed primarily in the biomimetic context of bone or enamel mineralization for therapeutic approaches in repair of human tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Texture and anisotropy
Hans-Rudolf Wenk,P. Van Houtte +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of texture analysis at non-ambient conditions is presented, with emphasis on technologically important systems and in rocks that contribute to anisotropy in the earth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium Phosphate Biominerals
TL;DR: The most important of the calcium phosphates (Table 1⇓) is an impure carbonate-containing apatite (CO3Ap) and forms the inorganic component of bones and teeth as mentioned in this paper.

Unique alignment and texture of biological apatite crystallites in typical calcified tissues analyzed by microbeam x-ray diffractometer system
Takayoshi Nakano,Kazuhiro Kaibara,Yasuhiko Tabata,Natsuki Nagata,S Enomoto,Eriko Marukawa,Yukichi Umakoshi +6 more
TL;DR: It was concluded that the microscale measurement of biological Ap texture is one of the useful new methods for evaluating mechanical function and stress distribution in vivo in calcified tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitin and collagen as universal and alternative templates in biomineralization
TL;DR: Here, for the first time, chitin and collagen are analysed from evolutionary, structural, and functional points of view with respect to their templating properties in calcification and silicification phenomena, using both in vivo and in vitro data.

TL;DR: In many bones these alternating lamellae are organized into even larger ordered structures to produce what is truly a remarkably ordered material, all the way from the molecular scale to the macroscopic product.

Mineral and organic matrix interaction in normally calcifying tendon visualized in three dimensions by high-voltage electron microscopic tomography and graphic image reconstruction
TL;DR: In this article, electron microscopic 3-D reconstructions were generated from the normally mineralizing leg tendons from the domestic turkey, Meleagris gallopavo, using a 2-degree tilt series of micrographs taken over a minimum angular range of +/- 60 degrees.

Mechanical loading history and skeletal biology
TL;DR: The fact that the mechanical stress histories in skeletal tissues are directly related to the force of gravity suggests that the life forms that have evolved on Earth are closely tied to the authors' gravitational field.
