Calcium phosphate precipitates (CPPs) form complexes with DNA, which enter cells via endocytosis. Under this condition CPPs induce autophagy via the canonic autophagy machinery. Here we showed that CPP-induced autophagy was also dependent on endocytosis as the process was significantly
Calcium phosphate ceramics (CPCs) have been widely used as biomaterials for the regeneration of bone tissue because of their ability to induce osteoblastic differentiation in progenitor cells. Despite the progress made towards fabricating CPCs possessing a range of surface features

Stem cell-based bone tissue engineering has been recognized as a new strategy for maxillary sinus floor elevation. More rapid bone formation may enhance this technique when simultaneous dental implant placement is desired. Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and bone marrow
Pyrophosphate ions are both inhibitors of HA formation and substrates for phosphatase enzymes. Unlike polyphosphates their hydrolysis results simultaneously in the complete loss of mineral formation inhibition and a localised elevation in orthophosphate ion concentration. Despite recent advances in our
As an alternative to an autologous bone graft, deproteinized bovine bone (DBB) is widely used in the clinical dentistry. Although DBB provides an osteoconductive scaffold, it is not capable of enhancing bone regeneration because it is not osteoinductive. In order
