The researchers were able to create such systems by combining organic and inorganic matrix components, including collagen and the bone mineral hydroxyapatite, in a manner that mimicked ...

It is well known that organic molecules from the vertebrate extracellular matrix of calcifying tissues ... apatite nanoparticles as well as intact bone samples, we demonstrate that water orients ...

Cathepsin K readily degrades type I collagen, the major component of the organic bone matrix. With such a major role in the initial process of bone resorption, cathepsin K has become a therapeutic ...

Since the bone matrix, which forms most of the mass of the bone, plays both structural and regulatory roles, non-collagenous organic components have a key function in bone regulation. It is known ...

The organic matrix is mainly comprised of collagen type 1 amongst other proteins. Bones contain marrow and maintain a calcium reservoir. Common bone diseases associated with aging are osteoporosis ...

--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Molecular Matrix, Inc. (MMI), a leader in regenerative medicine polymer technology, is proud to announce the full launch of its Osteo-P® Synthetic Bone Graft Substitute ...

Aziyo Biologics issued a recall of all of its bone matrix products earlier this month "out of an abundance of caution" after the first two cases were identified. The Centers for Disease Control ...

Now, an interdisciplinary Cornell team has identified a new mechanism regulating tumor growth in the skeleton, the primary site of breast cancer metastasis: mineralization of the bone matrix, a ...
