General description

Hydroxyapatite(HAP) is an osteoconductive bioceramic material which has uniqueability to form direct bonds with living tissues. It can be easily prepared byvarious techniques such as sol-gel, hydrothermal, multiple emulsion, biomimeticdeposition, and electrodeposition.

Application

Hydroxyapatite can be used as:
  • An implant material for bone substitute due to its chemical similarity to the inorganic component of bone and osteo inductive properties.
  • A vehicle for gene and drug delivery because of its encapsulation capacity and affinity to several drugs and proteins.
  • A pH responsive particulate emulsifier.

Features and Benefits

  • Biocompatible
  • Osteoconductive
  • Stable under physiological conditions
  • High mechanical strength

The scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) family of proteins comprises more than 20 membrane-associated and secreted molecules. Characterised by the presence of one or more copies of the ∼110 amino-acid SRCR domain, this class of proteins have widespread functions as antimicrobial

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

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.

There is an immense clinical need for novel therapeutics for the treatment of angiogenesis-dependent calcified neoplasms such as osteosarcomas and bone metastases. We developed a new therapeutic strategy to target bone metastases and calcified neoplasms using combined polymer-bound angiogenesis inhibitors.
