Not exact matches

Enamel — an almost pure layer of a mineral called hydroxyapatite — coats the teeth of almost all tetrapods (four - limbed creatures) and lobe - finned fish such as coelacanths.

By studying strain gradients in bones and pure bone mineral (hydroxyapatite), the researchers have been able to calculate the precise magnitude of this electric field.

The durable material is a mix of an elastic polymer plus hydroxyapatite, a calcium mineral found in human bones and teeth.

Antoni P. Tomsia of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and his colleagues found they could mimic nacre just by freezing a watery suspension loaded with hydroxyapatite, bone's mineral component (left).

In ancient bone, DNA is nestled among diverse organic and inorganic molecules, including collagen and a mineral form of calcium called hydroxyapatite, which must be dissolved away to extract sequenceable genetic material.

The first is ultra-long hydroxyapatite nanowires, which are tiny threads made from a mineral form of calcium apatite commonly found in teeth and bones.

Calcium is the key ingredient in a mineral, known as hydroxyapatite, that strengthens tooth enamel as well as bones.

A clinical trial comparing ossein - hydroxyapatite (whole bone extract) to calcium carbonate showed that ossein - hydroxyapatite was significantly more effective than the calcium carbonate at increasing bone mineral density — even though calcium carbonate is considered the more soluble of the two.

Hydroxyapatite is the microcrystalline mineral structure that is the primary constituent of mineralized bone.

Also, although the studies cited above used only strontium, plus calcium and vitamin D, better results would be achieved by including other potential anti-osteoporotic substances such as a broad - spectrum mineral replacement that includes magnesium, vitamin K and boron, plus Xylitol, ipriflavone, calcium hydroxyapatite, progesterone cream (and in some cases, estrogen), and DHEA.

After all, about fifty percent of bones consist of minerals, with the largest store by far being calcium phosphate, a combination of calcium and phosphorous arranged in a formation called hydroxyapatite.
