Abstract
The synthesis of calcium carbonate with controlled morphology is crucial for its biomedical applications. In this study, we synthesized well-ordered porous calcium carbonate nanospheres using recombinant collagen as a biomineralization template. Porous collagen-calcium carbonate was created by incubating calcium chloride and sodium carbonate with collagen biotemplates at room temperature. Our results show that the recombinant collagen-calcium carbonate nanomaterials underwent a morphological transition from solid nanospheres to more porous nanospheres and a phase transformation from vaterite to a mixture of calcite and vaterite. This study highlights the crucial role of recombinant collagen in modulating the morphology and crystallinity of calcium carbonate nanoparticles. Importantly, the highly porous recombinant collagen-calcium carbonate hybrid nanospheres demonstrated superior loading efficacy for the model drug cefoperazone. Furthermore, the drug loading and releasing results suggest that hybrid nanospheres have the potential to be robust and biocompatible pH-responsive drug carriers. Our findings suggest that recombinant collagen's unique amino acid content and rodlike structure make it a superior template for biomineralized synthesis. This study provides a promising avenue for the production of novel organic-inorganic nanostructures, with potential applications in biomedical fields such as drug delivery.

Abstract
Calcium carbonate micro- and nanoparticles are considered as chemically inert materials. Therefore, they are widely considered in the field of biosensing, drug delivery, and as filler material in plastic, paper, paint, sealant, and adhesive industries. The unusual properties of calcium carbonate-based nanomaterials, such as biocompatibility, high surface-to-volume ratio, robust nature, easy synthesis, and surface functionalization, and ability to exist in a variety of morphologies and polymorphs, make them an ideal candidate for both industrial and biomedical applications. Significant research efforts have been devoted for developing novel synthesis methods of calcium carbonate particles in micrometer and nanometer dimensions. This review highlights different approaches of the synthesis of calcium carbonate micro- and nanoparticles, such as precipitation, slow carbonation, emulsion, polymer-mediated method, including in-situ polymerization, mechano-chemical, microwave-assisted method, and biological methods. The applications of these versatile calcium carbonate micro- and nanoparticles in the biomedical field (such as in drug delivery, therapeutics, tissue engineering, antimicrobial activity, biosensing applications), in industries, and environmental sector has also been comprehensively covered.

Abstract
Protein nanogels have found a wide variety of applications, ranging from biocatalysis to drug/protein delivery. However, in practical applications, proteins in nanogels may suffer from enzymic hydrolysis and denaturation. Inspired by the structure and functionalities of the fowl eggshells, biomimetic mineralization of protein nanogels was studied in this research. Protein nanogels with embedded porcine pancreas lipase (PPL) in the cross-linked nanostructures were synthesized through the thiol-disulfide reaction between thiol-functionalized PPL and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) with pendant pyridyl disulfide groups. The nanogels were further reacted with reduced bovine serum albumin (BSA) and BSA molecules were coated on the nanogels. Mineralization of BSA leads to the synthesis of biomineralized shells on the nanogels. With the growth of CaCO3 on the shells, the nanogels aggregate into suprastructures. Thermogravimetric analysis, XRD, dynamic light scattering, and TEM were employed to study the mechanism of the biomineralization process and analyze the structures of the mineralized nanogels. The biomineralized shells can effectively protect the PPL molecules from hydrolysis by trypsin; meanwhile, the nanosized channels on the mineralized shells allow the transport of small-molecule substrates across the shells. Bioactivity measurements indicate that PPL in the nanogels maintains more than 80 % bioactivity after biomineralization.
