Magnesium-organic framework-based stimuli-responsive systems that optimize the bone microenvironment for enhanced bone regeneration

TL;DR: Remarkable in vivo functional bone regeneration was achieved with an in situ bone island pattern formed internally, suggesting that the biomaterials replicating the developmental process can be an attractive strategy for enhancing tissue regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA adsorbed on hydroxyapatite surfaces

TL;DR: The results indicate that the DNA secondary structure is perfectly preserved on the (001) surface, this stability being accompanied by an attractive binding energy, and although the termination of the (010) surface with PO4 3- and Ca2+ ions also deforms the double helix, it forms very strong attractive interactions with the biomolecule.
