In this work, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has been used to determine the size and morphology of bone mineral crystals obtained from hydrazine-deproteinated parietal bone and femur of Wistar rats aged 15 days, 1 month and 1 year. Apart from the Scanning Electron Microscopy study, crystal size was also determined by X-ray diffractometry, using the Debye- Scherrer equation. Analyzing the results obtained and those reported in the literature for isolated crystals, it is possible to evaluate…

Effect of hydrazine deproteination on bone mineral phase: a critical view.

Characterization of powdered fish heads for bone graft biomaterial applications.

The microstructure of Powder A was mainly composed of different sizes and tubular shape, whereas Powder B showed agglomerated particles, which can be considered as bone graft after transformation to hydroxyapatite phase.

Local electronic structure and nanolevel hierarchical organization of bone tissue: theory and NEXAFS study

The NEXAFS analysis has demonstrated the essential hierarchy induced HAP- to-bone red shifts of the Ca and P 2p-to-valence transitions and described the mechanisms ensuring the link of the hierarchical organization with the electronic structure of the mineralized phase in bone.

Thermal changes in young and mature bone nanostructure probed with Ca 2p excitations

Thermal dependence of mineralized bone structure is examined both experimentally by measuring the near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) and theoretically by applying the 3DSL model to…

Synthesis of Hydroxyapatite-Nanorods with the Effect of Non-Ionic Surfactant as a Drug Carrier for the Treatment of Bone Infections

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) was synthesized using wet chemical method through surfactant assisted route. Microstructural features such as size and morphology of the resulting HAP were studied using Field…

The Influence of Calcium Infiltration on the Sintering Behavior and Dissolution of Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate

Beta-Tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) has attracted attention as a scaffold material for bone tissue engineering. The calcium content in β-TCP is thought to have an important influence on the sintering…

Biopolymer based structures for biological tissue reconstruction

This study was motivated by the alarming findings on the harmful effects of aluminum on bone mineralization and includes the results of a study concerning the modification of fibroin fibers and cellulose fibers with synthetic polymers, with the aim to enhance mineralization.

Electrospun fibrous scaffolds combined with nanoscale hydroxyapatite induce osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament cells

In this study, COL/PCL/nHA-SBF produced by electrospinning followed by biomimetic mineralization had combined electrospun fibers with nHA in it, indicating that this scaffold had the ability to induce osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament cells.

Normal maturational changes in bone matrix, mineral, and crystal size in the rat

Normal rat bone maturation has been studied using biochemical methods and hydrazine separation of matrix and mineral for X-ray diffraction and growth in mean crystal size appears to be the determinant of the changing ratios of calcium, magnesium, carbonate, and phosphorus.

Size and Shape of Mineralites in Young Bovine Bone Measured by Atomic Force Microscopy

New AFM data supporting this claim is consistent with findings obtained by electron microscopy and low-angle x-ray and neutron diffraction that mineralites formed within collagen fibrils during initial stages of calcification occur within the hole zone region.

Hydrazine-deproteinated bone mineral

Physicochemical data are presented demonstrating that although rat bone crystals more closely resemble synthetic controls made in carbonate-rather than hydroxide-rich media, rat bone apatite cannot be interpreted in terms of known or postulated crystal models in any meaningful fashion.

Aspects of mineral structure in normally calcifying avian tendon.

These data provide the first visual evidence supporting the concept that larger plates form from parallel association of smaller ones, and the data fill a gap in knowledge between macromolecular- and anatomic-scale studies of the mineralization of avian tendon and connective tissues in general.
