Abstract
Ion substitution techniques for nanoparticles have become an important neighborhood of biomedical engineering and have led to the development of innovative bioactive materials for health systems. Magnesium-doped nanohydroxyapatite (Mg-nHA) has good bone conductivity, biological activity, flexural strength, and fracture toughness due to particle doping technology, making it an ideal candidate material for biomedical applications. In this Review, we have systematically presented the synthesis methods of Mg-nHA and their application in the field of biomedical science and highlighted the pros and cons of each method. Finally, some future prospects for this important neighborhood are proposed. The purpose of this Review is to provide readers with an understanding of this new field of research on bioactive materials with innovative functions and systematically introduce the latest technologies for obtaining uniform, continuous, and morphologically diverse Mg-nHA.

[PMID: 34757163 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2021.130047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2021] [Revised: 10/24/2021] [Accepted: 10/26/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A nanoemulsion with specific surface properties (such as charge and functional groups) can initiate the deposition of calcium phosphate (CaP) on its surface, leading to formation of CaP nanoparticles with a lipid core. The lipid core can carry lipophilic compounds based on the function of the nanoemulsion. Therefore, a dual purpose nanoemulsion of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) exhibiting self-calcifying and carrier abilities can be developed. METHODS We employed an emulsification process to formulate LNPs with a specific charged surface. The LNPs were tested for their ability to calcify in simulated body fluid and encapsulate cholecalciferol (a model of active compound). The self-calcifying LNP was successfully fabricated using the emulsification process and stabilized using a mixture of polysorbate 80 and polysorbate 20. RESULTS The LNPs incubated in simulated body fluid bound to calcium and phosphate, subsequently forming CaP on the particle surface and resulting in approximately 180-nm CaP spheres with a lipid core. The LNPs facilitated calcium phosphate deposition in the collagen scaffolds. In addition, LNPs can be used as carriers of lipophilic compounds without impeding the self-calcifying ability.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The study of Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (ACP) has become a hot topic due to its relevance in living organisms and as a material for biomedical applications. The preparation and characterization of Mg-substituted ACP nanoparticles (AMCP) with tunable Ca/Mg ratio is reported in the present study to address the effect of Mg2+ on their structure and stability. EXPERIMENTS AMCPs particles were synthesized by precipitation of the precursors from aqueous solutions. The particles were analyzed in terms of morphology, crystallinity, and thermal stability, to get a complete overview of their physico-chemical characteristics. Computational methods were also employed to simulate the structure of ACP clusters at different levels of Mg2+ substitution. FINDINGS Our results demonstrate that AMCP particles with tunable composition and crystallinity can be obtained. The analysis of the heat-induced crystallization of AMCP shows that particles' stability depends on the degree of Mg2+ substitution in the cluster, as confirmed by computational analyses. The presented results shed light on the effect of Mg2+ on ACP features at different structural levels and may be useful guidelines for the preparation and design of AMCP particles with a specific Ca/Mg ratio.

Enzymatic Approach in Calcium Phosphate Biomineralization: A Contribution to Reconcile the Physicochemical with the Physiological View. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222312957.

Abstract
Biomineralization is the process by which organisms produce hard inorganic matter from soft tissues with outstanding control of mineral deposition in time and space. For this purpose, organisms deploy a sophisticated "toolkit" that has resulted in significant evolutionary innovations, for which calcium phosphate (CaP) is the biomineral selected for the skeleton of vertebrates. While CaP mineral formation in aqueous media can be investigated by studying thermodynamics and kinetics of phase transitions in supersaturated solutions, biogenic mineralization requires coping with the inherent complexity of biological systems. This mainly includes compartmentalization and homeostatic processes used by organisms to regulate key physiological factors, including temperature, pH and ion concentration. A detailed analysis of the literature shows the emergence of two main views describing the mechanism of CaP biomineralization. The first one, more dedicated to the study of in vivo systems and supported by researchers in physiology, often involves matrix vesicles (MVs). The second one, more investigated by the physicochemistry community, involves collagen intrafibrillar mineralization particularly through in vitro acellular models. Herein, we show that there is an obvious need in the biological systems to control both where and when the mineral forms through an in-depth survey of the mechanism of CaP mineralization. This necessity could gather both communities of physiologists and physicochemists under a common interest for an enzymatic approach to better describe CaP biomineralization. Both homogeneous and heterogeneous enzymatic catalyses are conceivable for these systems, and a few preliminary promising results on CaP mineralization for both types of enzymatic catalysis are reported in this work. Through them, we aim to describe the relevance of our point of view and the likely findings that could be obtained when adding an enzymatic approach to the already rich and creative research field dealing with CaP mineralization. This complementary approach could lead to a better understanding of the biomineralization mechanism and inspire the biomimetic design of new materials.

Abstract
Magnesium, an important inorganic mineral component in bones, enhances osteoblast adhesion and osteogenic gene expression. Mg2+‑containing hydroxyapatite promotes mouse mesenchymal stem cell (MMSC) osteogenic differentiation. In the present study, MMSCs were cultured in media containing different concentrations of MgCl2 (0 and 20 mM) for different time periods. Western blotting and reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR were performed to determine the expression levels of phosphorylated (p)‑p38 mitogen‑activated protein kinase (MAPK), the osteoblast‑specific transcription factor Osterix (Osx), runt‑related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), and p38 downstream genes, such as 27 kDa heat shock protein (hsp27), activating transcription factor 4 (Atf4), myocyte enhancer factor 2C (Mef2c) and CCAAT/enhancer‑binding protein homologous protein (Ddit3). The facilitatory effect of MgCl2 on MMSC osteogenic differentiation was assessed via Alizarin Red staining. The results suggested that MgCl2 increased p38 phosphorylation compared with the control group. Downstream genes of the p38 signaling pathway, including Osx and Runx2, as well as several osteogenesis‑associated downstream target genes, including Hsp27, Atf4, Ddit3 and Mef2c, were significantly upregulated in the Mg2+‑treated group compared with the control group. The increased osteogenic differentiation in the Mg2+‑treated group was significantly attenuated in MMSCs treated with SB203580, a specific inhibitor of the p38 signaling pathway. The results suggested that appropriate concentrations of MgCl2 promoted MMSC osteogenic differentiation via regulation of the p38/Osx/Runx2 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Biominerals formed by DNA and calcium oxalate (CaOx) or hydroxyapatite (HAp), the most important and stable phase of calcium phosphate) have been examined and compared using a synergistic combination of computer simulation and experimental studies. The interest of this comparison stems from the medical observation that HAp- and CaOx-based microcalcifications are frequently observed in breast cancer tissues, and some of their features are used as part of the diagnosis. Molecular dynamics simulations show that (1) the DNA double helix remains stable when it is adsorbed onto the most stable facet of HAp, whereas it undergoes significant structural distortions when it is adsorbed onto CaOx; (2) DNA acts as a template for the nucleation and growth of HAp but not for the mineralization of CaOx; and (3) the DNA double helix remains stable when it is encapsulated inside HAp nanopores, but it becomes destabilized when the encapsulation occurs into CaOx nanopores. Furthermore, CaOx and HAp minerals containing DNA molecules inside and/or adsorbed on the surface have been prepared in the lab by mixing solutions containing the corresponding ions with fish sperm DNA. Characterization of the formed minerals, which has been focused on the identification of DNA using UV-vis spectroscopy, indicates that the tendency to adsorb and, especially, encapsulate DNA is much smaller for CaOx than for HAp, which is in perfect agreement with results from molecular dynamics simulations. Finally, quantum mechanical calculations have been performed to rationalize these results in terms of molecular interactions, evidencing the high affinity of Ca2+ toward oxalate anions in an aqueous environment.

Abstract
This article focuses on the relevance of amorphous calcium (and magnesium) phosphates in living organisms. Although crystalline calcium phosphate (CaP)-based materials are known to constitute the major inorganic constituents of human hard tissues, amorphous CaP-based structures, often in combination with magnesium, are frequently employed by Nature to build up components of our body and guarantee their proper functioning. After a brief description of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) formation mechanism and structure, this paper is focused on the stabilization strategies that can be used to enhance the lifetime of the poorly stable amorphous phase. The various locations of our body in which ACP (pure or in combination with Mg2+) can be found (i.e. bone, enamel, small intestine, calciprotein particles and casein micelles) are highlighted, showing how the amorphous nature of ACP is often of paramount importance for the achievement of a specific physiological function. The last section is devoted to ACP-based biomaterials, focusing on how these materials differ from their crystalline counterparts in terms of biological response.

Abstract
Abstract
The study of material science has been long devoted to the disentanglement of bulk structures which mainly entails finding the inner structure of materials. That structure is accountable for a major portion of materials’ properties. Yet, as our knowledge of these “backbones” enlarged so did the interest for the materials’ boundaries properties which means the properties at the frontier with the surrounding environment that is called interface. The interface is thus to be understood as the sum of the material’s surface plus the surrounding environment be it in solid, liquid or gas phase. The study of phenomena at this interface requires both the use of experimental and theoretical techniques and, above all, a wise combination of them in order to shed light over the most intimate details at atomic, molecular and mesostructure levels. Here, we report several cases to be used as proof of concept of the results achieved when studying interface phenomena by combining a myriad of experimental and theoretical tools to overcome the usual limitation regardind atomic detail, size and time scales and systems of complex composition. Real world examples of the combined experimental-theoretical work and new tools, software, is offered to the readers.

Abstract
Calcifications are not only one of the most important early diagnostic markers of breast cancer, but are also increasingly believed to aggravate the proliferation of cancer cells and invasion of surrounding tissue. Moreover, this influence appears to vary with calcification composition. Despite this, remarkably little is known about the composition and crystal structure of the most common type of breast calcifications, and how this differs between benign and malignant lesions. We sought to determine how the phase composition and crystallographic parameters within calcifications varies with pathology, using synchrotron X-ray diffraction. This is the first time crystallite size and lattice parameters have been measured in breast calcifications, and we found that these both parallel closely the changes in these parameters with age observed in fetal bone. We also discovered that these calcifications contain a small proportion of magnesium whitlockite, and that this proportion increases from benign to in situ to invasive cancer. When combined with other recent evidence on the effect of magnesium on hydroxyapatite precipitation, this suggests a mechanism explaining observations that carbonate levels within breast calcifications are lower in malignant specimens.
