Abstract
Simultaneously improving the strength and toughness of polymer-inorganic nanocomposites is highly desirable but remains technically challenging. Herein, a simple yet effective pathway to prepare polymer-inorganic nanocomposite films that exhibit excellent mechanical properties due to their unique composition and structure is demonstrated. Specifically, a series of poly(methacrylic acid)x-block-poly(benzyl methacrylate)y diblock copolymer nano-objects with differing dimensions and morphologies is prepared by polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) mediated by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT). Such copolymer nano-objects and ultrasmall calcium phosphate oligomers (CPOs) are used as dual fillers for the preparation of polymer-inorganic composite films using sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as a matrix. Impressively, the strength and toughness of such composite films are substantially reinforced as high as up to 202.5 ± 14.8 MPa and 62.3 ± 7.9 MJ m-3, respectively. Owing to the intimate interaction between the polymer-inorganic interphases at multiple scales, their mechanical performances are superior to most conventional polymer films and other nanocomposite films. This study demonstrates the combination of polymeric fillers and inorganic fillers to reinforce the mechanical properties of the resultant composite films, providing new insights into the design rules for the construction of novel hybrid films with excellent mechanical performances.

Bone Regeneration Capabilities of Scaffolds Containing Chitosan and Nanometric Hydroxyapatite-Systematic Review Based on In Vivo Examinations. Biomimetics (Basel) 2024; 9:503. [PMID: 39194482 DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics9080503] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2024] [Revised: 08/05/2024] [Accepted: 08/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024] Open
Abstract
In this systematic review, the authors aimed to investigate the state of knowledge on in vivo evaluations of chitosan and nanometric hydroxyapatite (nanohydroxyapatite, nHAp) scaffolds for bone-tissue regeneration. In March 2024, an electronic search was systematically conducted across the PubMed, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases using the keywords (hydroxyapatite) AND (chitosan) AND (scaffold) AND (biomimetic). Methodologically, the systematic review followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol to the letter. Initially, a total of 375 studies were screened, and 164 duplicates were removed. A further 188 articles were excluded because they did not correspond to the predefined topics, and an additional 3 articles were eliminated due to the inability to obtain the full text. The final compilation included 20 studies. All publications indicated a potential beneficial effect of the scaffolds in in vivo bone defect repair. A beneficial effect of hydroxyapatite as a scaffold component was observed in 16 studies, including greater mechanical resistance, cellular differentiation, and enhanced bone damage regeneration. The addition of chitosan and apatite ceramics, which combined the strengths of both materials, had the potential to become a useful bone-tissue engineering material.

Abstract
Natural-based materials represent green choices for biomedical applications. In this study, resin pulp capping restoration enclosing strengthening silica and bioactive portlandite nanofillers were prepared from industrial wastes. Silica nanoparticles were isolated from rice husk by heat treatment, followed by dissolution/precipitation treatment. Portlandite nanoparticles were prepared by calcination of carbonated lime waste followed by ultrasonic treatment. Both were characterized using x-ray diffraction, energy dispersive x-ray, and transmission electron microscopy. For preparing pulp capping restoration, silica (after silanization) and/or portlandite nanoparticles were mixed with 40/60 weight ratio of bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate. Groups A, B, and C enclosing 50 wt.% silica, 25 wt.% silica + 25 wt.% portlandite, and 50 wt.% portlandite, respectively, were prepared. All groups underwent microhardness, compressive strength, calcium release, pH, and apatite forming ability inspection in comparison to mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) positive control. In comparison to MTA, all experimental groups showed significantly higher compressive strength, group B showed comparable microhardness, and group C showed significantly higher calcium release. Groups B and C showed prominent hydroxyapatite formation. Thus, the preparation of economic, silica-fortified, bioactive pulp capping material from under-utilized agricultural residues (rice husk) and zero-value industrial waste (carbonated lime from sugar industry) could be achieved.

Abstract
When bone is exposed to thermal stress, the chemical composition changes. This affects bone tissue regeneration after surgery, and these changes can also aid in reconstructing ante-, peri-, and post-mortem events in forensic investigations and past activities on cremation practices in archaeology. However, to date, no complete overview exists on the chemical composition of both fresh and thermally altered bone. Therefore, we aimed (i) to present the chemical composition of fresh bone and (ii) to present an overview of heat-induced chemical changes in bone under both reducing and oxidizing conditions. From the overview, it became clear that some chemical changes occur at a consistent temperature, independent of exposure duration, meaning there is a temperature threshold. However, the occurrence of other chemical changes appeared to be more inter-experimentally variable, and therefore, it is recommended to further investigate these changes.

Discrimination of ivory from extant and extinct elephant species using Raman spectroscopy: A potential non-destructive technique for combating illegal wildlife trade. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0299689.

Abstract
The use of elephant ivory as a commodity is a factor in declining elephant populations. Despite recent worldwide elephant ivory trade bans, mammoth ivory trade remains unregulated. This complicates law enforcement efforts, as distinguishing between ivory from extant and extinct species requires costly, destructive and time consuming methods. Elephant and mammoth ivory mainly consists of dentine, a mineralized connective tissue that contains an organic collagenous component and an inorganic component of calcium phosphate minerals, similar in structure to hydroxyapatite crystals. Raman spectroscopy is a non-invasive laser-based technique that has previously been used for the study of bone and mineral chemistry. Ivory and bone have similar biochemical properties, making Raman spectroscopy a promising method for species identification based on ivory. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that it is possible to identify differences in the chemistry of mammoth and elephant ivory using Raman spectroscopy. Mammoth and elephant tusks were obtained from the Natural History Museum in London, UK. Included in this study were eight samples of ivory from Mammuthus primigenius, two samples of carved ivory bangles from Africa (Loxodonta species), and one cross section of a tusk from Elephas maximus. The ivory was scanned using an inVia Raman micro spectrometer equipped with a x50 objective lens and a 785nm laser. Spectra were acquired using line maps and individual spectral points were acquired randomly or at points of interest on all samples. The data was then analysed using principal component analysis (PCA) with use of an in-house MATLAB script. Univariate analysis of peak intensity ratios of phosphate to amide I and III peaks, and carbonate to phosphate peaks showed statistical differences (p<0.0001) in the average peak intensity ratios between Mammuthus primigenius, Loxodonta spp. and Elephas maximus. Full width at half maximum hight (FWHM)analysis of the phosphate peak demonstrated higher crystal maturity of Mammuthus primigenius compared to living elephant species. The results of the study have established that spectra acquired by Raman spectroscopy can be separated into distinct classes through PCA. In conclusion, this study has shown that well-preserved mammoth and elephant ivory has the potential to be characterized using Raman spectroscopy, providing a promising method for species identification. The results of this study will be valuable in developing quick and non-destructive methods for the identification of ivory, which will have direct applications in archaeology and the regulation of international trade.

Abstract
In this research, we explain the production of sodium-doped hydroxyapatite (Na_HAp) via wet chemical precipitation, followed by crystal modification. To enhance its photocatalytic activity different % of (0.25, 0.5, 1, and 2) sodium doped into HAp crystal. It has been demonstrated that doping is an effective method for modifying the properties of nanomaterials, such as their optical performance and chemical reactivity. Several instrumental approaches were used to characterize this newly synthesized sodium-doped HAp (Na_HAp), e.g. scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and UV-vis spectrometry were used to analyze the morphology, elemental composition, crystal structure, and optical bandgap, respectively. Under sunlight irradiation, the new Na_HAp photocatalyst was put to use in the process of degrading pharmaceutical pollutants such as antibiotics (amoxicillin and ciprofloxacin). It was found that using a 0.1 g dose of 1% Na_HAp under specified conditions, such as a pH of 7 and 120 minutes of sunlight irradiation, resulted in degradation percentages of 60% and 41.59% for amoxicillin and ciprofloxacin, respectively. Different radical scavengers were utilized to determine the reaction mechanism for the photochemical degradation of antibiotics. Additionally, the ability to be reused and the stability of 1% Na_HAp, a newly developed photocatalyst, were assessed. Therefore, this research adds to our understanding of how to optimize redox capacity for the rapid breakdown of a variety of antibiotics when exposed to sunlight.

Abstract
Development of efficient controlled local release of drugs that prevent systemic side effects is a challenge for anti-osteoporotic treatments. Research for new bone-regeneration materials is of high importance. Strontium (Sr) is known as an anti-resorptive and anabolic agent useful in treating osteoporosis. In this study, we compared two different types of synthesis used for obtaining nano hydroxyapatite (HA) and Sr-containing nano hydroxyapatite (SrHA) for bone tissue engineering. Synthesis of HA and SrHA was performed using co-precipitation and hydrothermal methods. Regardless of the synthesis route for the SrHA, the intended content of Sr was 1, 5, 10, 20, and 30 molar %. The chemical, morphological, and biocompatibility properties of HA and SrHA were investigated. Based on our results, it was shown that HA and SrHA exhibited low cytotoxicity and demonstrated toxic behavior only at higher Sr concentrations.

Abstract
Bone is primarily composed of collagen and apatite, two materials which exhibit a high sensitivity to pH dysregulation. As a result, acid exposure of bone, both clinically and in the laboratory is expected to cause compositional and mechanical changes to the tissue. Clinically, Metabolic acidosis (MA), a condition characterized by a reduced physiological pH, has been shown to have negative implications on bone health, including a decrease in bone mineral density and volume as well as increased fracture risk. The addition of bone-like apatite to ionic solutions such as phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and media has been shown to acidify the solution leading to bone acid exposure. Therefore, is it essential to understand how reduced pH physiochemically affects bone composition and in turn its mechanical properties. This study investigates the specific changes in bone due to physiochemical dissolution in acid. Excised murine bones were placed in PBS solutions at different pHs: a homeostatic pH level (pH 7.4), an acidosis equivalent (pH 7.0), and an extreme acidic solution (pH 5.5). After 5 days, the bones were removed from the solutions and characterized to determine compositional and material changes. We found that bones, without cells, were able to regulate pH via buffering, leading to a decrease in bone mineral content and an increase in collagen denaturation. Both of these compositional changes contributed to an increase in bone toughness by creating a more ductile bone surface and preventing crack propagation. Therefore, we conclude that the skeletal systems' physiochemical response to acid exposure includes multifaceted and spatially variable compositional changes that affect bone mechanics.

Abstract
The occurrence of bone disorders is steadily increasing worldwide. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) has emerged as a promising alternative to conventional treatments of bone defects, developing bone scaffolds capable of promoting bone regeneration. In this research, biomimetic scaffolds based on ion-substituted calcium phosphates, derived from cuttlefish bone, were prepared using a hydrothermal method. To synthesize Mn2+-substituted scaffolds, three different manganese concentrations (corresponding to 1, 2.5, and 5 mol% Mn substitutions for Ca into hydroxyapatite) were used. Also, syntheses with the simultaneous addition of an equimolar amount (1 mol%) of two (Mg2+ and Sr2+) or three ions (Mn2+, Mg2+, and Sr2+) were performed. A chemical, structural, and morphological characterization was carried out using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The effects of the ion substitutions on the lattice parameters, crystallite sizes, and fractions of the detected phases were discussed. Multi-substituted (Mn2+, Mg2+, and Sr2+) scaffolds were coated with polycaprolactone (PCL) using simple vacuum impregnation. The differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), cultured on the PCL-coated scaffold, was evaluated using histology, immunohistochemistry, and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analyses. The expression of collagen I, alkaline phosphatase, and dentin matrix protein 1 was detected. The influence of PCL coating on hMSCs behavior is discussed.

[PMID: 37394288 DOI: 10.1016/j.oooo.2023.05.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2022] [Revised: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the ability of near-infrared Raman spectroscopy (near-IR RS) to differentiate among cortical bone, trabecular bone, and Bio-Oss, a bovinebone-based graft material. STUDY DESIGN We obtained a thinly sliced section of the mandible to collect cortical and trabecular bone samples and placed compacted Bio-Oss bone graft into a partially edentulous mandible in a dry human skull to obtain a comparable Bio-Oss sample. We performed near-IR RS of the 3 samples and evaluated the resultant Raman spectra to evaluate their differences. RESULTS We identified 3 sets of spectroscopic markers that differentiated Bio-Oss from human bone. The first consisted of significant shifts in the location of the 960 cm-1 phosphate (PO43-) peak and a reduction in its width, suggesting that Bio-Oss is more crystalline than bone. The second was the reduced carbonate content of Bio-Oss compared to bone, as determined from the 1070 cm-1/960 cm-1 peak area ratio. The final marker was the lack of collagen-associated peaks in Bio-Oss compared to cortical and trabecular bone. CONCLUSIONS Near-IR RS can reliably differentiate human cortical and trabecular bone from Bio-Oss via 3 sets of spectral markers associated with mineral crystallinity, carbonate content, and collagen content that differ significantly between them. Integrating this modality into dental practice may assist in implant treatment planning.

Abstract
The goal of this study is to evaluate the influence of the concentration of silver on the structural and antimicrobial in vitro properties of silver-doped hydroxyapatite powders obtained using the precipitation method. Different concentrations of silver were evaluated to assess the antimicrobial properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and dispersive energy spectroscopy (EDS) were used to characterize the powders. XRD and FTIR showed that the hydroxyapatite structure is not affected by the incorporation of silver; on the other hand, EDS showed the presence of silver in the powders. Antibacterial studies showed the efficiency of hydroxyapatite powders in inhibiting bacterial growth as silver concentration increases. According to the results, silver-doped hydroxyapatite powders are suggested for use in the prevention and treatment of infections in bone and dental tissues.

Abstract
Osseointegration plays the most important role in the success of an implant. One of the applications of hydroxyapatite (HAp) is as a coating for metallic implants due to its bioactive nature, which improves osteoconduction. The purpose of this research was to assess the in vitro behavior of HAp undoped and doped with Ag and/or Sr obtained by galvanostatic pulsed electrochemical deposition. The coatings were investigated in terms of chemical bonds, contact angle and surface free energy, electrochemical behavior, in vitro biomineralization in acellular media (SBF and PBS), and biocompatibility with preosteoblasts cells (MC3T3-E1 cell line). The obtained results highlighted the beneficial impact of Ag and/or Sr on the HAp. The FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of hydroxyapatite within all coatings, while in terms of wettability, the contact angle and surface free energy investigations showed that all surfaces were hydrophilic. The in vitro behavior of MC3T3-E1 indicated that the presence of Sr in the HAp coatings as a unique doping agent or in combination with Ag elicited improved cytocompatibility in terms of cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. Therefore, the composite HAp-based coatings showed promising potential for bone regeneration applications.

Abstract
Dental enamel is a peculiar biological tissue devoid of any self-renewal capacity as opposed to bone. Thus, a thorough understanding of enamel composition is essential to develop novel strategies for dental enamel repair. While the mineral found in bone and dental enamel is generally viewed as the biologically-produced equivalent of hydroxy(l)apatite, the formation of these bioapatites is controlled by different organic matrix frameworks-mainly type-I collagen in bone and amelogenin in enamel. In lower vertebrates, such as rodents, two distinct types of enamel are produced. Iron-containing pigmented enamel protects the continuously growing incisor teeth while magnesium-rich unpigmented enamel covers the molar teeth. Using high-resolution Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, this work explores the differences in acid phosphate (HPO42-), carbonate (CO32-), hydroxyl (OH-), iron, and magnesium content of pigmented incisor enamel and unpigmented molar enamel of Sprague Dawley rats. Bundles of hydroxy(l)apatite nanowires comprise the enamel prisms, where prisms in pigmented enamel are wider and longer than those in unpigmented molars. In contrast to magnesium-rich unpigmented enamel, higher mineral crystallinity, and higher HPO42- and OH- levels are hallmark features of iron-rich pigmented enamel. Furthermore, the apparent absence of iron oxides or oxy(hydroxides) indicates that iron is introduced into the apatite lattice at the expense of calcium, albeit in amounts that do not alter the Raman signatures of the PO43- internal modes. Compositional idiosyncrasies of iron-rich pigmented and nominally iron-free unpigmented enamel offer new insights into enamel biomineralisation supporting the notion that, in rodents, ameloblast function differs significantly between the incisors and the molars.

Abstract
This study focuses on the changes in diet and mobility of people buried in the La Sassa cave (Latium, Central Italy) during the Copper and Bronze Ages to contribute to the understanding of the complex contemporary population dynamics in Central Italy. To that purpose, carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analyses, strontium isotope analyses, and FT-IR evaluations were performed on human and faunal remains from this cave. The stable isotope analyses evidence a slight shift in diet between Copper and Bronze Age individuals, which becomes prominent in an individual, dating from a late phase, when the cave was mainly used as a cultic shelter. This diachronic study documents an increased dietary variability due to the introduction of novel resources in these protohistoric societies, possibly related to the southward spread of northern human groups into Central Italy. This contact between different cultures is also testified by the pottery typology found in the cave. The latter shows an increase in cultural intermingling starting during the beginning of the middle Bronze Age. The local mobility during this phase likely involved multiple communities scattered throughout an area of a few kilometers around the cave, which used the latter as a burial site both in the Copper and Bronze ages.

Abstract
Bone mineralization is critical to maintaining tissue mechanical function. The application of mechanical stress via exercise promotes bone mineralization via cellular mechanotransduction and increased fluid transport through the collagen matrix. However, due to its complex composition and ability to exchange ions with the surrounding body fluids, bone mineral composition and crystallization is also expected to respond to stress. Here, a combination of data from materials simulations, namely density functional theory and molecular dynamics, and experimental studies were input into an equilibrium thermodynamic model of bone apatite under stress in an aqueous solution based on the theory of thermochemical equilibrium of stressed solids. The model indicated that increasing uniaxial stress induced mineral crystallization. This was accompanied by a decrease in calcium and carbonate integration into the apatite solid. These results suggest that weight-bearing exercises can increase tissue mineralization via interactions between bone mineral and body fluid independent of cell and matrix behaviours, thus providing another mechanism by which exercise can improve bone health. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'Supercomputing simulations of advanced materials'.

Abstract
Bacteria Acinetobacter baumannii is a persistent issue in hospital-acquired infections due to its fast and potent development of multi-drug resistance. To address this urgent challenge, a novel biomaterial using silver (Ag+) ions within the hydroxyapatite (HAp) lattice has been developed to prevent infections in orthopedic surgery and bone regeneration applications without relying on antibiotics. The aim of the study was to examine the antibacterial activity of mono-substituted HAp with Ag+ ions and a mixture of mono-substituted HAps with Sr2+, Zn2+, Mg2+, SeO32- and Ag+ ions against the A. baumannii. The samples were prepared in the form of powder and disc and analyzed by disc diffusion, broth microdilution method, and scanning electron microscopy. The results from the disc-diffusion method have shown a strong antibacterial efficacy of the Ag-substituted and mixture of mono-substituted HAps (Sr, Zn, Se, Mg, Ag) toward several clinical isolates. The Minimal Inhibitory Concentrations for the powdered HAp samples ranged from 32 to 42 mg/L (Ag+ substituted) and 83-167 mg/L (mixture of mono-substituted), while the Minimal Bactericidal Concentrations after 24 h of contact ranged from 62.5 (Ag+) to 187.5-292 mg/L (ion mixture). The lower substitution level of Ag+ ions in a mixture of mono-substituted HAps was the cause of lower antibacterial effects measured in suspension. However, the inhibition zones and bacterial adhesion on the biomaterial surface were comparable. Overall, the clinical isolates of A. baumannii were effectively inhibited by substituted HAp samples, probably in the same amount as by other commercially available silver-doped materials, and such materials may provide a promising alternative or supplementation to antibiotic treatment in the prevention of infections associated with bone regeneration. The antibacterial activity of prepared samples toward A. baumannii was time-dependent and should be considered in potential applications.

Abstract
Nanogels are cross-linked hydrogel nanoparticles with a three-dimensional, tunable porous structure that merges the best features of hydrogels and nanoparticles, including the ability to retain their hydrated nature and to swell and shrink in response to environmental changes. Nanogels have attracted increasing attention for use in bone tissue engineering as scaffolds for growth factor transport and cell adhesion. Their three-dimensional structures allow the encapsulation of a wide range of hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs, enhance their half-life, and impede their enzymatic breakdown in vivo. Nanogel-based scaffolds are a viable treatment modality for enhanced bone regeneration. They act as carriers for cells and active ingredients capable of controlled release, enhanced mechanical support, and osteogenesis for enhanced bone tissue regeneration. However, the development of such nanogel constructs might involve combinations of several biomaterials to fabricate active ingredients that can control release, enhance mechanical support, and facilitate osteogenesis for more effective bone tissue regeneration. Hence, this review aims to highlight the potential of nanogel-based scaffolds to address the needs of bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Acetic acid treatment for an accurate differentiation between ancient and recent human bones was assessed using Raman and FTIR-ATR spectroscopies. Each set of skeletal samples was analysed by these techniques, prior and after chemical washing, in order to determine the variations in bone´s chemical composition and crystallinity. Bone samples were collected from several independent sources: recent bones burned under controlled experimental conditions or cremated, and archaeological (XVII century and Iron Age). The effect of acetic acid, expected to impact mostly on carbonates, was clearly evidenced in the spectra of all samples, particularly in FTIR-ATR, mainly through the bands typical of A- and B-carbonates. Furthermore, as seen for crematoria and archaeological samples, acetic acid was found to remove contaminants such as calcium hydroxide. Overall, acetic acid treatment can be an effective method for removing carbonates (exogenous but possibly also endogenous) and external contaminants from bone. However, these effects are dependent on the skeletal conditions (e.g. post-mortem interval and burning settings). In addition, this chemical washing was shown to be insufficient for an unequivocal discrimination between recent and archaeological skeletal remains. Based on the measured IR indexes, only cremated bones could be clearly distinguished.

Abstract
The lacuno-canalicular space of apoptotic osteocytes eventually becomes mineralised in vivo. This condition is known as micropetrosis and is a fundamental characteristic of ageing bone. Increased prevalence of such hypermineralised osteocyte lacunae is viewed as a structural marker of impaired bone function - both mechanical and biological. Within the lacuno-canalicular space, mineralised apoptotic debris typically occurs as micrometre-sized, spherical nodules of magnesium-rich, carbonated apatite. Moreover, characteristically facetted, rhomboidal nodules of magnesium whitlockite [Mg-whitlockite; Ca18Mg2(HPO4)2(PO4)12] have been reported in human alveolar bone exposed to the bisphosphonate alendronate. This work provides supporting evidence for Mg-whitlockite formation in the alveolar bone of a 70-year-old male exposed to the bisphosphonate zoledronic acid to suppress osteolytic changes in skeletal metastasis. Backscattered electron scanning electron microscopy (BSE-SEM) revealed spherical and rhomboidal nodules within the lacuno-canalicular space. A variant of spherical nodules exhibited a fuzzy surface layer comprising radially extending acicular crystallites. The rhomboidal nodules ranged between ∼200 nm to ∼2.4 µm across the widest dimension (652 ± 331 nm). Micro-Raman spectroscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed that rhomboidal nodules are compositionally distinct from spherical nodules, exhibiting higher Mg content and lower Ca/P ratio. Formation of Mg-whitlockite within osteocyte lacunae is multifactorial in nature and suggests altered bone biomineralisation. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism(s) and sequence of events remain poorly understood and warrant further investigation. The possibility to discriminate between carbonated apatite and Mg-whitlockite nodules within osteocyte lacunae, based on particle morphology, attests to the diagnostic potential of BSE-SEM with or without additional analyses of material composition.

Abstract
Microcalcifications, primarily biogenic apatite, occur in cancerous and benign breast pathologies and are key mammographic indicators. Outside the clinic, numerous microcalcification compositional metrics (e.g., carbonate and metal content) are linked to malignancy, yet microcalcification formation is dependent on microenvironmental conditions, which are notoriously heterogeneous in breast cancer. We interrogate multiscale heterogeneity in 93 calcifications from 21 breast cancer patients using an omics-inspired approach: For each microcalcification, we define a "biomineralogical signature" combining metrics derived from Raman microscopy and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. We observe that (i) calcifications cluster into physiologically relevant groups reflecting tissue type and local malignancy; (ii) carbonate content exhibits substantial intratumor heterogeneity; (iii) trace metals including zinc, iron, and aluminum are enhanced in malignant-localized calcifications; and (iv) the lipid-to-protein ratio within calcifications is lower in patients with poor composite outcome, suggesting that there is potential clinical value in expanding research on calcification diagnostic metrics to include "mineral-entrapped" organic matrix.

Abstract
The biological and mechanical functions of bone rely critically on the inorganic constituent, which can be termed as bone apatite nanocrystal. It features a hydroxylapatite-like crystalline structure, complex chemical compositions (e.g., carbonate-containing and calcium- and hydroxyl-deficient), and fine geometries and properties. The long research with vast literature across broad spectra of disciplines and fields from chemistry, crystallography, and mineralogy, to biology, medical sciences, materials sciences, mechanics, and engineering has produced a wealth of knowledge on the bone apatite nanocrystal. This has generated significant impacts on bioengineering and industrial engineering, e.g., in developing new biomaterials with superior osteo-inductivities and in inspiring novel strong and tough composites, respectively. Meanwhile, confusing and inconsistent understandings on the bone mineral constituent should be addressed to facilitate further multidisciplinary progress. In this review, we present a mineralogical account of the bone-related ideal apatite mineral and then a brief historical overview of bone mineral research. These pave the road to understanding the bone apatite nanocrystal via a material approach encompassing crystalline structure, diverse chemical formulae, and interesting architecture and properties, from which several intriguing research questions emerge for further explorations. Through providing the classical and latest findings with decent clearness and adequate breadth, this review endeavors to promote research advances in a variety of related science and engineering fields.

Abstract
A global need exists for new and more effective contrast agents for computed tomography and traditional X-ray modalities. Among the few options available nowadays, limitations imposed by industrial production, performance, and efficacy restrict the use and reduce the potential of both imaging techniques. The use of nanomaterials as new contrast agents for X-ray and computed tomography is an innovative and viable way to increase the options and enhance performance. In this study, we evaluated eight nanomaterials: hydroxyapatite doped with zinc (Zn-HA 10%); hydroxyapatite doped with strontium (Sr-HA 10%); hydroxyapatite without thermal treatment (HA 282 STT); thermally treated hydroxyapatite (HA 212 500 °C and HA 01.256 CTT 1000 °C); hydroxyapatite microspheres (HA microspheres); gold nanoparticles (AuNP); and graphene oxide doped with copper (Cu-GO). The results showed that for both imaging modalities; HA microspheres were the best option, followed by hydroxyapatite thermally treated at 1000 °C. The nanomaterials with the worst results were hydroxyapatite doped with zinc (Zn-HA 10%), and hydroxyapatite doped with strontium (Sr-HA 10%). Our data demonstrated the potential of using nanomaterials, especially HA microspheres, and hydroxyapatite with thermal treatment (HA 01.256 CTT 1000 °C) as contrast agents for X-ray and computed tomography.

Abstract
Lately, there has been an increasing demand for materials that could improve tissue regenerative therapies and provide antimicrobial effects. Similarly, there is a growing need to develop or modify biomaterials for the diagnosis and treatment of different pathologies. In this scenario, hydroxyapatite (HAp) appears as a bioceramic with extended functionalities. Nevertheless, there are certain disadvantages related to the mechanical properties and lack of antimicrobial capacity. To circumvent them, the doping of HAp with a variety of cationic ions is emerging as a good alterative due to the different biological roles of each ion. Among many elements, lanthanides are understudied despite their great potential in the biomedical field. For this reason, the present review focuses on the biological benefits of lanthanides and how their incorporation into HAp can alter its morphology and physical properties. A comprehensive section of the applications of lanthanides-substituted HAp nanoparticles (HAp NPs) is presented to unveil the potential biomedical uses of these systems. Finally, the need to study the tolerable and non-toxic percentages of substitution with these elements is highlighted.

Abstract
Bone regeneration has gained attention in the biomedical field, which has led to the development of materials and synthesis methods meant to improve osseointegration and cellular bone activity. The properties of hydroxyapatite, a type of calcium phosphate, have been researched to determine its advantages for bone tissue engineering, particularly its biocompatibility and ability to interact with bone cells. Recently, the advantages of utilizing nanomolecules of hydroxyapatite, combined with various substances, in order to enhance and combine their characteristics, have been reported in the literature. This review will outline the cellular and molecular roles of hydroxypatite, its interactions with bone cells, and its nano-combinations with various ions and natural products and their effects on bone growth, development, and bone repair.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Osteocytes directly modify the bone surrounding the expansive lacunar-canalicular system (LCS) through both resorption and deposition. The existence of this phenomenon is now widely accepted, but is referred to as "osteocyte osteolysis," "LCS remodeling," and "perilacunar remodeling," among other names. The uncertainty in naming this physiological process reflects the many persistent questions about why and how osteocytes interact with local bone matrix. The goal of this review is to examine the purpose and nature of LCS remodeling and its impacts on multiscale bone quality. RECENT FINDINGS While LCS remodeling is clearly important for systemic calcium mobilization, this process may have additional potential drivers and may impact the ability of bone to resist fracture. There is abundant evidence that the osteocyte can resorb and replace bone mineral and does so outside of extreme challenges to mineral homeostasis. The impacts of the osteocyte on organic matrix are less certain, especially regarding whether osteocytes produce osteoid. Though multiple lines of evidence point towards osteocyte production of organic matrix, definitive work is needed. Recent high-resolution imaging studies demonstrate that LCS remodeling influences local material properties. The role of LCS remodeling in the maintenance and deterioration of bone matrix quality in aging and disease are active areas of research. In this review, we highlight current progress in understanding why and how the osteocyte removes and replaces bone tissue and the consequences of these activities to bone quality. We posit that answering these questions is essential for evaluating whether, how, when, and why LCS remodeling may be manipulated for therapeutic benefit in managing bone fragility.

Abstract
Calcium phosphates (CaP) represent an important class of osteoconductive and osteoinductive biomaterials. As proof-of-concept, we show how a multi-component CaP formulation (monetite, beta-tricalcium phosphate, and calcium pyrophosphate) guides osteogenesis beyond the physiological envelope. In a sheep model, hollow dome-shaped constructs were placed directly over the occipital bone. At 12 months, large amounts of bone (∼75%) occupy the hollow space with strong evidence of ongoing remodelling. Features of both compact bone (osteonal/osteon-like arrangements) and spongy bone (trabeculae separated by marrow cavities) reveal insights into function/need-driven microstructural adaptation. Pores within the CaP also contain both woven bone and vascularised lamellar bone. Osteoclasts actively contribute to CaP degradation/removal. Of the constituent phases, only calcium pyrophosphate persists within osseous (cutting cones) and non-osseous (macrophages) sites. From a translational perspective, this multi-component CaP opens up exciting new avenues for osteotomy-free and minimally-invasive repair of large bone defects and augmentation of the dental alveolar ridge.

Abstract
Abstract
Phosphate mineralization as a skeletal material is uncommon in invertebrate animals and rare in Mollusca. Remarkably, apatite minerals were first reported more than 30 years ago in the periostracum of two species of the mytilid bivalve Lithophaga where shells are mostly constructed of calcium carbonate. This discovery extended the range of biominerals secreted by molluscs but has attracted no subsequent research. In this study we review the occurrence of phosphate mineralization in Lithophaga and putatively allied taxa. Lithophagine bivalves, particularly Lithophaga and the more diverse Leiosolenus species, are well known for their endolithic chemical dissolution of calcareous rocks and corals with calcium-binding lipoproteins secreted by mantle glands. Fluorapatite was identified by X-ray diffraction in an outer layer of the periostracum in six species of Lithophaga. Morphological study by scanning electron microscopy of four species showed the fluorapatite crystals embedded in periostracal material in a layer 10–20 µm thick. Dilute bleach treatment revealed the crystals as densely packed euhedral prisms 250–400 nm in size. The succeeding inner layers of the periostracum were unmineralized. Observations of the developing periostracum of Lithophaga teres suggest that the initial mineralization is in the form of amorphous granules that coalesce and transform into euhedral crystals. Periostracal phosphate was not recorded in other members of the Lithophaginae – Leiosolenus, Botula or Zelithophaga species. Leiosolenus species characteristically have extraperiostracal aragonitic encrustations that can be thick and structurally complex. Published molecular phylogenies of Mytilidae bivalves show a division into two major clades with Lithophaga species in one clade and Leiosolenus species in the other, indicating that the subfamily Lithophaginae as presently understood is polyphyletic. This result implies that the two genera have independent evolutionary pathways to endolithic occupation of calcareous substrates although using similar mantle gland secretions to excavate their crypts. Because fluorapatite is considerably less soluble and harder than calcium carbonate, it is suggested that the phosphate layer of Lithophaga is a functional adaptation to protect their shells from self-dissolution from their rock-dissolving glandular secretions and may also act as defence against other shell-eroding organisms.

Abstract
Studies of Rancho La Brea predators have yielded disparate dietary interpretations when analyzing bone collagen vs. enamel carbonate—requiring a better understanding of the relationship between stable carbon isotopes in these tissues. Stable carbon isotope spacing between collagen and carbonate (Δca-co) has also been used as a proxy for inferring the trophic level of mammals, with higher Δca-co values indicative of high carbohydrate consumption. To clarify the stable isotope ecology of carnivorans, past and present, we analyzed bone collagen (carbon and nitrogen) and enamel carbonate (carbon) of extinct and extant North American felids and canids, including dire wolves, sabertooth cats, coyotes, and pumas, supplementing these with data from African wild dogs and African lions. Our results reveal that Δca-co values are positively related to enamel carbonate values in secondary consumers and are less predictive of trophic level. Results indicate that the foraging habitat and diet of prey affects Δca-co in carnivores, like herbivores. Average Δca-co values in Pleistocene canids (8.7+/−1‰) and felids (7.0+/−0.7‰) overlap with previously documented extant herbivore Δca-co values suggesting that trophic level estimates may be relative to herbivore Δca-co values in each ecosystem and not directly comparable between disparate ecosystems. Physiological differences between felids and canids, ontogenetic dietary differences, and diagenesis at Rancho La Brea do not appear to be primary drivers of Δca-co offsets. Environmental influences affecting protein and fat consumption in prey and subsequently by predators, and nutrient routing to tissues may instead be driving Δca-co offsets in extant and extinct mammals.

Abstract
Inorganic biomaterials, including different types of metals and ceramics are widely used in various fields due to their biocompatibility, bioactivity, and bioresorbable capacity. In recent years, biomaterials have been used in biomedical and biological applications. Calcium phosphate (CaPs) compounds are gaining importance in the field of biomaterials used as a standalone material or in more complex structures, especially for bone substitutes and drug delivery systems. The use of multiple dopants into the structure of CaPs compounds can significantly improve their in vivo and in vitro activity. Among the general information included in the Introduction section, in the first section of this review paper, the authors provided a background on the development of hydroxyapatite, methods of synthesis, and its applications. The advantages of using different ions and co-ions for substitution into the hydroxyapatite lattice and their influence on physicochemical, antibacterial, and biological properties of hydroxyapatite are also presented in this section of the review paper. Larry Hench's 45S5 Bioglass®, commercially named 45S5, was the first bioactive glass that revealed a chemical bond with bone, highlighting the potential of this biomaterial to be widely used in biomedicine for bone regeneration. The second section of this article is focused on the development and current products based on 45S5 Bioglass®, covering the historical evolution, importance of the sintering method, hybrid bioglass composites, and applications. To overcome the limitations of the original biomaterials, studies were performed to combine hydroxyapatite and 45S5 Bioglass® into new composites used for their high bioactivity and improved properties. This particular type of combined hydroxyapatite/bioglass biomaterial is discussed in the last section of this review paper.

Abstract
Arthritis is a disease that seriously affects the quality of human life, which is partly caused by the reduction of joint lubrication performance. Thus, for the treatment of arthritis, how to improve the lubrication performance of joints is important. The lamellar liquid crystals (LLCs) systems have the potential to be used as joint lubrication due to their double-layer structure and good biocompatibility, however, the LLCs system alone could not provide a satisfactory lubrication effect. Herein, this work synthesized hydroxyapatite (HAP) in situ inside Tween 85/Tween 80/H2O LLCs to construct a biocompatible HAP/Tween 85/Tween 80/H2O LLCs (HAP/LLCs) lubrication system with both sustained drug release properties and anti-wear properties. HAP is the main component of bone with good stability and bioactivity. The LLCs have good lubricating and drug-carrying properties. The impact of HAP on the structure and lubrication properties of LLCs, the mechanism of friction, and the anti-wear reduction of HAP/LLCs were investigated. Moreover, the drug release behavior of the ibuprofen-loaded HAP/LLCs during the friction process was also studied. The results indicated that the addition of HAP could improve the lubricity performance of LLCs. The cumulative drug releasing increased with the friction frequency and was less affected by the load. The related studies provided the theoretical basis for HAP/LLCs for joint lubrication and synergistic therapy.

Abstract
The search for gold-standard materials for bone regeneration is still a challenge in reconstruction surgery. The ratio between hydroxyapatite (HAp) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) in biphasic calcium phosphate ceramics (BCPs) is one of the most important factors in osteoinduction promotion and controlled biodegradability, configurating what is currently considered as a possible gold standard material for bone substitution in reconstructive surgery. Exploring the natural genesis of the HAp and β-TCP phases in fishbones during their postnatal growth, this study developed a biphasic bioceramic obtained from the calcination of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) bones as a function of their ages. The natural genesis dynamics of the structural evolution of the β-TCP and HAp phases were characterized by physicochemical methods, taking into account of the age of the fish and the material processing conditions. Thermal analysis (TGA / DTA) showed complete removal of the organic matter and transitions associated with the transformation of carbonated hydroxyapatite (CDHA) to HAp and β-TCP phases. After calcination at 900 °C, the material was characterized by: X-ray diffraction (XRD) and refinement by the Rietveld method; Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy with Attenuated Total Reflection (FTIR-ATR); Raman spectroscopy; Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS). The analysis allowed identification and quantitative estimate of the variations of the HAp and β-TCP phases in the formation of the BCPs. The results showed that the decrease in β-TCP against the increase in the HAp phases is symmetrical to the dynamics of the natural genesis of these phases, surprisingly maintaining the balanced phase proportion even when bones of young fishes were used. The microstructure analysis confirms the observed transformation. In addition, in vivo tests demonstrated the osteoinductive potential of BCP scaffolds implanted in an ectopic site, and their remarkable regenerative functionality, as bone graft, was demonstrated in alveolar bone after tooth extraction. MTT cytotoxicity assay for BCP samples for MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts and L929 fibroblasts cells showed viability equal or higher than 100%. A logistic empirical model is presented to explain the three stages of HAp natural formation with fish age and it is also compared to the fish size evolution.

Abstract
Raman micro-spectroscopy is a non-destructive and non-contact analytical technique that combines microscopy and spectroscopy, thus providing a potential for non-invasive and in situ molecular identification, even over heterogeneous and rare samples such as fossilized tissues. Recently, chemical imaging techniques have become an increasingly popular tool for characterizing trace elements, isotopic information, and organic markers in fossils. Raman spectroscopy also shows a growing potential in understanding bone microstructure, chemical composition, and mineral assemblance affected by diagenetic processes. In our lab, we have investigated a wide range of different fossil tissues, mainly of Mesozoic vertebrates (from Jurassic through Cretaceous). Besides standard spectra of sedimentary rocks, including pigment contamination, our Raman spectra also exhibit interesting spectral features in the 1200-1800 cm-1 spectral range, where Raman bands of proteins, nucleic acids, and other organic molecules can be identified. In the present study, we discuss both a possible origin of the observed bands of ancient organic residues and difficulties with definition of the specific spectral markers in fossilized soft and hard tissues.

Abstract
Enamel, dentin and cementum apatite has a complex composition. The lack of complete reports on the chemical composition of all tooth tissues together and the need to create a modern biomaterial that reproduces the correct ratio of individual tooth mineral components prompted the authors to undertake the research. A detailed evaluation of the micro- and macro-elements of tooth powder, using various methods of chemical analysis was conducted. All four groups of human sound teeth were crushed using the grinder. A fine powder was implemented for the FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectometry) and for the potentiometric titration, SEM and mercury porosimetry analyses. The obtained studies indicate that there is no significant correlation in chemical composition between the different teeth types. This proves that every removed, crushed tooth free of microorganisms can be a suitable material for alveolar augmentation. It is essential to know the chemical profiles of different elements in teeth to develop a new class of biomaterials for clinical applications.

Abstract
Due to their enhanced dissolution, solubility and reaction speed, borate glasses offer potential advantages for the design and development of therapeutic ion-release systems. However, the field remains poorly understood relative to traditional phosphosilicate and silicate bioglasses. The increased structural complexity and relative lack of published data relating to borates, particularly borofluorates, also decreases the accuracy of artificial intelligence models, which are used to predict glass properties. To develop predictive models for borofluorate networks, this paper uses a design of mixtures approach for rapid screening of composition-property relationships, including the development of polynomial equations that comprehensively establish the predictive capabilities for glass transition, density, mass loss and fluoride release. A broad range of glass compositions, extending through the boron anomaly range, were investigated, with the inclusion of 45 to 95 mol% B2O3 along with 1-50 mol% MgO, CaO and Na2O as well as 1-30% KF and NaF. This design space allows for the investigation of the impact of fluorine as well as mixed alkali-alkaline earth effects. Glass formation was found to extend past 30 mol% KF or NaF without a negative impact on glass degradation in contrast to the trends observed in phosphosilicates. The data demonstrates that fluoroborate materials offer an exceptional base for the development of fluoride-releasing materials.

Abstract
Apatites are one of the most intensively studied materials for possible biomedical applications. New perspectives of possible application of apatites correspond with the development of nanomaterials and nanocompounds. Here, an effort to systematize different kinds of human bioapatites forming bones, dentin, and enamel was undertaken. The precursors of bioapatites and hydroxyapatite were also considered. The rigorous consideration of compositions and stoichiometry of bioapatites allowed us to establish an order in their mutual sequence. The chemical reactions describing potential transformations of biomaterials from octacalcium phosphate into hydroxyapatite via all intermediate stages were postulated. Regardless of whether the reactions occur in reality, all apatite biomaterials behave as if they participate in them. To conserve the charge, additional free charges were introduced, with an assumed meaning to be joined with the defects. The distribution of defects was coupled with the values of crystallographic parameters “a” and “c”. The energetic balances of bioapatite transformations were calculated. The apatite biomaterials are surprisingly regular structures with non-integer stoichiometric coefficients. The results presented here will be helpful for the further design and development of nanomaterials.

Abstract
We studied the structure and attachment modes of the teeth of adult Anoplogaster cornuta using light- and scanning-electron microscopic techniques. All teeth were monocuspid, composed solely of orthodentin, and lacked a covering enameloid cap. Fourteen teeth were present in the oral jaws, with three teeth each on the left and right premaxilla and four teeth each on the left and right dentary. The anteriormost premaxillary and dentary teeth were considerably larger than the more posteriorly located ones. The oral jaw teeth were transparent, non-depressible and firmly ankylosed to their respective dentigerous bone by a largely anosteocytic bone of attachment. No evidence for replacement of the large oral jaw teeth was found in the analyzed adult specimens. The bone of attachment exhibited lower calcium and phosphorus concentrations and a higher Ca/P ratio than the orthodentin. The connection between dentinal tooth shaft and bone of attachment was stabilized by a collar of mineralized collagen fibers. In contrast to the oral jaw teeth, the pharyngeal teeth exhibited a ring-like fibrous attachment to their supporting bones. This mode of attachment provides the teeth with some lateral mobility and allows their depression relative to their supporting bones, which may facilitate intra-pharyngeal prey transport. In contrast, a firm ankylosis was observed in numerous small teeth located on the branchial arches. The function of these teeth is presumably to increase the tightness of the pharyngeal basket and thereby the retention of small prey items in a species living in a habitat with only sparse food supply. Our findings corroborate earlier statements on the tooth attachment modes of the oral jaw teeth of Anoplogaster cornuta, but provide new findings for the attachment modes of pharyngeal teeth in this species.

Abstract
In this work, biogenic hydroxyapatite (BHap) obtained from cattle bone waste is proposed as an adsorbent of this dangerous pollutant. Density functional theory (DFT) and calorimetric studies were developed to study the interaction between BHap and glyphosate (GLY). A strong interaction was found in the experiments through the measurement of immersion enthalpy, confirmed by the exothermic chemisorption obtained with DFT calculations. These results suggest that hydroxyapatite is a promising adsorbent material for GLY adsorption in aqueous solutions. In addition, it was determined that the GLY-hydroxyapatite interaction is greater than the water-hydroxyapatite interaction, which favors the GLY adsorption into this material.

Abstract
Bone glue with sodium lignosulfonate is a protein-based adhesive. Their combination leads to strong binding necessary for the achievement of adhesive properties. However, biodegradation and ecotoxicity of materials composed of bone glue and sodium lignosulfonate has never been studied before. In this paper, the biodegradation potential of the mixture of bone glue, lignosulfonate and rape straw modified by water or NaOH on an agar test with aerial molds and in acute aquatic tests with mustard, yeasts, algae and crustaceans was analyzed. Epoxy resin as an ecologically unfriendly binder was used as a negative control and pure rape straw as a background. The results indicated that all samples were covered by molds, but the samples containing straw treated by NaOH showed lower biodegradability. The ecotoxicological effects varied among the applied model organisms. Artemia salina was not able to survive and S. alba could not prolong roots in the eluates of all samples (100% inhibition). Freshwater algae (D. subspicatus) were not significantly affected by the samples (max. 12% inhibition, max. 16% stimulation). The biomass of yeasts (S. cerevisae) was strongly stimulated in the presence of eluates in a comparison to control (max. 38% stimulation).

Abstract
The nacre-inspired laminates are promising materials for their excellent mechanics. However, the interfacial defects between organic-inorganic phases commonly lead to the crack propagation and fracture failure of these materials under stress. A natural biomineral, bone, has much higher bending toughness than the nacre. The small size of inorganic building units in bone improves the organic-inorganic interaction, which optimizes the material toughness. Inspired by these biological structures, here, an ultratough nanocomposite laminate is prepared by the integration of ultrasmall calcium phosphate oligomers (CPO, 1 nm in diameter) within poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and sodium alginate (Alg) networks through a simple three-step strategy. Owing to the small size of inorganic building units, strong multiple molecular interactions within integrated organic-inorganic hierarchical structure are built. The resulting laminates exhibit ultrahigh bending strain (>50% without fracture) and toughness (21.5-31.0 MJ m-3), which surpass natural nacre and almost all of the synthetic laminate materials that have been reported so far. Moreover, the mechanics of this laminate is tunable by changing the water content within the bulk structure. This work provides a way for the development of organic-inorganic nanocomposites with ultrahigh bending toughness by using inorganic ionic oligomers, which can be useful in the fields of tough protective materials and energy absorbing materials.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a complex material, which is often nanocrystalline when found within a biological setting. This work has directly compared the structural characteristics derived from data collected using a conventional laboratory-based X-ray diffractometer with those collected from a dedicated pair distribution function (PDF) beamline at Diamond Light Source. In particular, the application of PDF analysis methods to carbonated HA is evaluated. 20 synthetic samples were measured using both X-ray diffraction (XRD) and PDFs. Both Rietveld refinement (of laboratory XRD data) and real-space refinement (of PDF data) were used to analyse all samples. The results of Rietveld and real-space refinements were compared to evaluate their application to crystalline and nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite. Significant relationships were observed between real-space refinement parameters and increasing carbonate substitution. Understanding the local order of synthetic hydroxyapatite can benefit several fields, including both biomedical and clinical settings.

Abstract
Incorporation of a bioactive mineral filler in a biodegradable polyester scaffold is a promising strategy for scaffold assisted bone tissue engineering (TE). The current study evaluates the in vitro behavior of poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)/Akermanite (AKM) composite scaffolds manufactured using selective laser sintering (SLS). Exposure of the mineral filler on the surface of the scaffold skeleton was evident from in vitro mineralization in PBS. PHBV scaffolds and solvent cast films served as control samples and all materials showed preferential adsorption of fibronectin compared to serum albumin as well as non-cytotoxic response in human osteoblasts (hOB) at 24 h. hOB culture for up to 21 days revealed that the metabolic activity in PHBV films and scaffolds was significantly higher than that of PHBV/AKM scaffolds within the first two weeks of incubation. Afterwards, the metabolic activity in PHBV/AKM scaffolds exceeded that of the control samples. Confocal imaging showed cell penetration into the porous scaffolds. Significantly higher ALP activity was observed in PHBV/AKM scaffolds at all time points in both basal and osteogenic media. Mineralization during cell culture was observed on all samples with PHBV/AKM scaffolds exhibiting distinctly different mineral morphology. This study has demonstrated that the bioactivity of PHBV SLS scaffolds can be enhanced by incorporating AKM, making this an attractive candidate for bone TE application.

Abstract
Bone is difficult to image using traditional histopathological methods, leading to challenges in intraoperative pathological evaluation that is critical in guiding surgical treatment, particularly in orthopedic oncology. In this study, we demonstrate that a multimodal quantitative imaging approach that combines stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy, two-photon fluorescence (TPF) microscopy, and second-harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy can provide useful diagnostic information regarding intact bone tissue fragments from surgical excision or biopsy specimens. We imaged bone samples from 17 patient cases and performed quantitative chemical and morphological analyses of both mineral and organic components of bone. Our main findings show that carbonate content combined with morphometric analysis of bone organic matrix can separate several major classes of bone cancer-associated diagnostic categories with an average accuracy of 92%. This proof-of-principle study demonstrates that quantitative multimodal imaging and machine learning-based analysis of bony tissue can provide crucial diagnostic information for guiding clinical decisions in orthopedic oncology. Moreover, the general methodology of morphological and chemical imaging combined with machine learning can be readily extended to other tissue types for tissue diagnosis in intraoperative and other clinical settings.

Abstract
The practice of cremating human remains is becoming increasingly common around the world, which has also resulted in increased incidents of mishandling, illegal disposal, and fraud. X-ray diffraction (XRD) offers a clear method of differentiating cremated remains from common filler materials, such as cement and wood ash. XRD can also be used to determine if cremated remains have been contaminated, and if so, to what extent. An evaluation of published data and in-house work, however, demonstrates that XRD cannot be used to differentiate human cremains from the processed cremains of other animals. XRD is a powerful analytical technique but must be employed with an understanding of both the limits of the instrumentation and the wide diversity of the human population.

Abstract
Bulk calcium phosphates and silicate-based bioglasses have been extensively studied since the early 1970s due to their unique capacity to bind to host bone, which led to their clinical translation and commercialization in the 1980s. Since the mid-1990s, researchers have synthesized nanoscale calcium phosphate and silicate-based particles of increased specific surface area, chemical reactivity and solubility which offer specific advantages as compared to their bulk counterparts. This review provides a critical perspective on the history and emerging trends of these two classes of ceramic nanoparticles. Their synthesis and functional properties in terms of particle composition, size, shape, charge, dispersion, and toxicity are discussed as a function of relevant processing parameters. Specifically, emerging trends such as the influence of ion doping and mesoporosity on the biological and pharmaceutical performance of these nanoparticles are reviewed in more detail. Finally, a broad comparative overview is provided on the physicochemical properties and applicability of calcium phosphate and silicate-based nanoparticles within the fields of i) local delivery of therapeutic agents, ii) functionalization of biomaterial scaffolds or implant coatings, and iii) bio-imaging applications.

Abstract
Biominerals are recorders of evolution and palaeoenvironments. Predation is one of the most frequent modes leading to the concentration of small vertebrates in fossil assemblages. Consumption by predators produces damages on bones and teeth from prey species, and one of the greatest challenges to taphonomists is differentiating original biological and secondary, geologically altered attributes of fossils. Excellent morphological preservation is often used to assume that the structure and composition of fossils are not modified. Nevertheless, during predation and fossilization, both the physical structure and chemical composition of enamel, dentine and bone are altered, the degree and extent of which varies from site to site, depending on the nature of the burial environment. A relationship between the surficial alterations and the compositional changes which take place during fossilization has yet to be established. Herein, I present a review of old and recent taphonomic studies that collectively reveal the wide diversity of microstructural and chemical changes that typically take place during fossilization of vertebrate remains, including common taphonomic biases and the challenges inherent to reconstructing the history of vertebrate fossil assemblages.

Abstract
Aging is a physiological process with profound impact on the biology and function of biosystems, including the human dentition. While resilient, human teeth undergo wear and disease, affecting overall physical, psychological, and social human health. However, the underlying mechanisms of tooth aging remain largely unknown. Root dentin is integral to tooth function in that it anchors and dissipates mechanical load stresses of the tooth-bone system. Here, we assess the viscoelastic behavior, composition, and ultrastructure of young and old root dentin using nano-dynamic mechanical analysis, micro-Raman spectroscopy, small angle X-ray scattering, atomic force and transmission electron microscopies. We find that the root dentin overall stiffness increases with age. Unlike other mineralized tissues and even coronal dentin, however, the ability of root dentin to dissipate energy during deformation does not decay with age. Using a deconstruction method to dissect the contribution of mineral and organic matrix, we find that the damping factor of the organic matrix does deteriorate. Compositional and ultrastructural analyses revealed higher mineral-to-matrix ratio, altered enzymatic and non-enzymatic collagen cross-linking, increased collagen d-spacing and fibril diameter, and decreased abundance of proteoglycans and sulfation pattern of glycosaminoglycans . Therefore, even in the absence of remodeling, the extracellular matrix of root dentin shares traits of aging with other tissues. To explain this discrepancy, we propose that altered matrix-mineral interactions, possibly mediated by carbonate ions sequestered at the mineral interface and/or altered glycosaminoglycans counteract the deleterious effects of aging on the structural components of the extracellular matrix. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Globally, a quarter of the population will be over 65 years old by 2050. Because many will retain their dentition, it will become increasingly important to understand and manage how aging affects teeth. Dentin is integral to the protective, biomechanical, and regenerative features of teeth. Here, we demonstrate that older root dentin not only has altered mechanical properties, but shows characteristic shifts in mineralization, composition, and post-translational modifications of the matrix. This strongly suggests that there is a mechanistic link between mineral and matrix components to the biomechanical performance of aging dentin with implications for efforts to slow or even reverse the aging process.
