Abstract
Living organisms in nature have undergone continuous evolution over billions of years, resulting in the formation of high-performance fracture-resistant biomineralized tissues such as bones and teeth to fulfill mechanical and biological functions, despite the fact that most inorganic biominerals that constitute biomineralized tissues are weak and brittle. During the long-period evolution process, nature has evolved a number of highly effective and smart strategies to design chemical compositions and structures of biomineralized tissues to enable superior properties and to adapt to surrounding environments. Most biomineralized tissues have hierarchically ordered structures consisting of very small building blocks on the nanometer scale (nanoparticles, nanofibers or nanoflakes) to reduce the inherent weaknesses and brittleness of corresponding inorganic biominerals, to prevent crack initiation and propagation, and to allow high defect tolerance. The bioinspired principles derived from biomineralized tissues are indispensable for designing and constructing high-performance biomimetic materials. In recent years, a large number of high-performance biomimetic materials have been prepared based on these bioinspired principles with a large volume of literature covering this topic. Therefore, a timely and comprehensive review on this hot topic is highly important and contributes to the future development of this rapidly evolving research field. This review article aims to be comprehensive, authoritative, and critical with wide general interest to the science community, summarizing recent advances in revealing the formation processes, composition, and structures of biomineralized tissues, providing in-depth insights into guidelines derived from biomineralized tissues for the design and construction of high-performance biomimetic materials, and discussing recent progress, current research trends, key problems, future main research directions and challenges, and future perspectives in this exciting and rapidly evolving research field.

Abstract
Commercial collagen membranes face difficulty in guided bone regeneration (GBR) due to the absence of hierarchical structural design, effective interface management, and diverse bioactivity. Herein, a Janus membrane called SrJM is developed that consists of a porous collagen face to enhance osteogenic function and a dense face to maintain barrier function. Specifically, biomimetic intrafibrillar mineralization of collagen with strontium apatite is realized by liquid precursors of amorphous strontium phosphate. Polycaprolactone methacryloyl is further integrated on one side of the collagen as a dense face, which endows SrJM with mechanical support and a prolonged lifespan. In vitro experiments demonstrate that the dense face of SrJM acts as a strong barrier against fibroblasts, while the porous face significantly promotes cell adhesion and osteogenic differentiation through activation of calcium-sensitive receptor/integrin/Wnt signaling pathways. Meanwhile, SrJM effectively enhances osteogenesis and angiogenesis by recruiting stem cells and modulating osteoimmune response, thus creating an ideal microenvironment for bone regeneration. In vivo studies verify that the bone defect region guided by SrJM is completely repaired by newly formed vascularized bone. Overall, the outstanding performance of SrJM supports its ongoing development as a multifunctional GBR membrane, and this study provides a versatile strategy of fabricating collagen-based biomaterials for hard tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Hybrid materials based on calcium phosphates and synthetic polymers can potentially be used for caries protection due to their similarity to hard tissues in terms of composition, structure and a number of properties. This study is focused on the biomimetic synthesis of hybrid materials consisting of hydroxiapatite and the zwitterionic polymers polysulfobetaine (PSB) and polycarboxybetaine (PCB) using controlled media conditions with a constant pH of 8.0-8.2 and Ca/P = 1.67. The results show that pH control is a dominant factor in the crystal phase formation, so nano-crystalline hydroxyapatite with a Ca/P ratio of 1.63-1.71 was observed as the mineral phase in all the materials prepared. The final polymer content measured for the synthesized hybrid materials was 48-52%. The polymer type affects the final microstructure, and the mineral particle size is thinner and smaller in the synthesis performed using PCB than using PSB. The final intermolecular interaction of the nano-crystallized hydroxyapatite was demonstrated to be stronger with PCB than with PSB as shown by our IR and Raman spectroscopy analyses. The higher remineralization potential of the PCB-containing synthesized material was demonstrated by in vitro testing using artificial saliva.

Novel biomimetic peptide-loaded chitosan nanoparticles improve dentin bonding via promoting dentin remineralization and inhibiting endogenous matrix metalloproteinases. Dent Mater 2024; 40:160-172. [PMID: 37951748 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2023.11.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2023] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/04/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to synthesize novel chitosan nanoparticles loaded with an amelogenin-derived peptide QP5 (TMC-QP5/NPs), investigate their remineralization capability and inhibitory effects on endogenous matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and evaluate the dentin bonding properties of remineralized dentin regulated by TMC-QP5/NPs. METHODS TMC-QP5/NPs were prepared by ionic crosslinking method and characterized by dynamic light scattering method, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscope, atomic force microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. The encapsulation and loading efficiency of TMC-QP5/NPs and the release of QP5 were examined. To evaluate the remineralization capability of TMC-QP5/NPs, the mechanical properties, and the changes in structure and composition of differently conditioned dentin were characterized. The MMPs inhibitory effects of TMC-QP5/NPs were explored by MMP Activity Assay and in-situ zymography. The dentin bonding performance was detected by interfacial microleakage and microshear bond strength (μSBS). RESULTS TMC-QP5/NPs were successfully synthesized, with uniform size, good stability and biosafety. The encapsulation and loading efficiency of TMC-QP5/NPs was respectively 69.63 ± 2.22% and 13.21 ± 0.73%, with a sustained release of QP5. TMC-QP5/NPs could induce mineral deposits on demineralized collagen fibers and partial occlusion of dentin tubules, and recover the surface microhardness of dentin, showing better remineralization effects than QP5. Besides, TMC-QP5/NPs significantly inhibited the endogenous MMPs activity. The remineralized dentin induced by TMC-QP5/NPs exhibited less interfacial microleakage and higher μSBS, greatly improved dentin bonding. SIGNIFICANCE This novel peptide-loaded chitosan nanoparticles improved resin-dentin bonding by promoting dentin remineralization and inactivating MMPs, suggesting a promising strategy for optimizing dentin adhesive restorations.

Abstract
Bone mineralization is a ubiquitous process among vertebrates that involves a dynamic physical/chemical interplay between the organic and inorganic components of bone tissues. It is now well documented that carbonated apatite, an inorganic component of bone, is proceeded through transient amorphous mineral precursors that transforms into the crystalline mineral phase. Here, the evolution on mineral precursors from their sources to the terminus in the bone mineralization process is reviewed. How organisms tightly control each step of mineralization to drive the formation, stabilization, and phase transformation of amorphous mineral precursors in the right place, at the right time, and rate are highlighted. The paradigm shifts in biomineralization and biomaterial design strategies are intertwined, which promotes breakthroughs in biomineralization-inspired material. The design principles and implementation methods of mineral precursor-based biomaterials in bone graft materials such as implant coatings, bone cements, hydrogels, and nanoparticles are detailed in the present manuscript. The biologically controlled mineralization mechanisms will hold promise for overcoming the barriers to the application of biomineralization-inspired biomaterials.

Abstract
Despite significant efforts utilizing advanced technologies, the contentious debate surrounding the intricate mechanism underlying collagen fibril mineralization, particularly with regard to amorphous precursor infiltration and phase transformation, persists. This work proposes an amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP)-mediated pathway for collagen fibril mineralization and utilizing stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy technology, and has experimentally confirmed for the first time that the ACP nanoparticles can infiltrate inside collagen fibrils. Subsequently, the ACP-mediated phase transformation occurs within collagen fibrils to form HAP crystallites, and significantly enhances the mechanical properties of the mineralized collagen fibrils compared to those achieved by the calcium phosphate ion (CPI)-mediated mineralization and resembles the natural counterpart. Furthermore, demineralized dentin can be effectively remineralized through ACP-mediated mineralization, leading to complete restoration of its mechanical properties. This work provides a new paradigm of collagen mineralization via particle-mediated phase transformation, deepens the understanding of the mechanism behind the mineralization of collagen fibrils, and offers a new strategy for hard tissue repair.

Abstract
The absence of a conducive bone formation microenvironment between fractured ends poses a significant challenge in repairing large bone defects. A promising solution is to construct a bone formation microenvironment that mimics natural bone tissue. Biomimetic mineralized collagen possesses a chemical composition and microstructure highly similar to the natural bone matrix, making it an ideal biomimetic bone substitute material. The microstructure of biomimetic mineralized collagen is influenced by various factors, and its biomineralization and microstructure, in turn, affect its physicochemical properties and biological activity. We aimed to utilize mineralization time and solution concentration as variables and employed the polymer-induced liquid precursor strategy to fabricate mineralized collagen with diverse microstructures, to shed light on how mineralization parameters impact the material microstructure and physicochemical properties. We also investigated the influence of microstructure and physicochemical properties on cell biocompatibility and the bone-forming microenvironment. Through comprehensive characterization, we examined the physical and chemical properties of I-EMC under various mineralization conditions and assessed the in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility and osteogenic performance. By investigating the relationship between mineralization parameters, material physicochemical properties, and osteogenic performance, we revealed how microstructures influence cellular behaviors like biocompatibility and osteogenic microenvironment. Encouragingly, mineralization solutions with varying concentrations, stabilized by polyacrylic acid, successfully produced intrafibrillar and extrafibrillar mineralized collagen. Compared to non-mineralized collagen, all mineralized samples demonstrated improved bone-forming performance. Notably, samples prepared with a 1× mineralization solution exhibited relatively smooth surfaces with even mineralization. Extending the mineralization time enhanced the degree of mineralization and osteogenic performance. Conversely, samples prepared with a 2× mineralization solution had rough surfaces with large calcium phosphate particles, indicating non-uniform mineralization. Overall, our research advances the potential for commercial production of mineralized collagen protein products, characterized by dual biomimetic properties, and their application in treating various types of bone defects.

Abstract
Biomineralization is an attractive pathway to produce mineral-based biomaterials with high performance and hierarchical structures. To date, the biomineralization process and mechanism have been extensively studied, especially for the formation of bone, teeth, and nacre. Inspired by those, abundant biomimetic mineralized materials have been fabricated for biomedical applications. Those bioinspired materials generally exhibit great mechanical properties and biological functions. Nevertheless, substantial gaps remain between biomimetic materials and natural materials, particularly with respect to mechanical properties and mutiscale structures. This Review summarizes the recent progress of micro- and macroscopic biomimetic mineralization from the perspective of materials synthesis and biomedical applications. To begin with, we discuss the progress of biomimetic mineralization at the microscopic level. The mechanical strength, stability, and functionality of the nano- and micromaterials are significantly improved by introducing biominerals, such as DNA nanostructures, nanovaccines, and living cells. Next, numerous biomimetic strategies based on biomineralization at the macroscopic scale are highlighted, including in situ mineralization and bottom-up assembly of mineralized building blocks. Finally, challenges and future perspectives regarding the development of biomimetic mineralization are also presented with the aim of offering insights for the rational design and fabrication of next-generation biomimetic mineralized materials.

Bioact Mater 2023; 27:181-199. [PMID: 37091064 PMCID: PMC10120318 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2023.03.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2022] [Revised: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Lamellar bone, compactly and ingeniously organized in the hierarchical pattern with 6 ordered scales, is the structural motif of mature bone. Each hierarchical scale exerts an essential role in determining physiological behavior and osteogenic bioactivity of bone. Engineering lamellar bone with full-scale hierarchy remains a longstanding challenge. Herein, using bioskiving and mineralization, we attempt to engineer compact constructs resembling full-scale hierarchy of lamellar bone. Through systematically investigating the effect of mineralization on physicochemical properties and bioactivities of multi-sheeted collagen matrix fabricated by bioskiving, the hierarchical mimicry and hierarchy-property relationship are elucidated. With prolongation of mineralization, hierarchical mimicry and osteogenic bioactivity of constructs are performed in a bidirectional manner, i.e. first rising and then descending, which is supposed to be related with transformation of mineralization mechanism from nonclassical to classical crystallization. Construct mineralized 9 days can accurately mimic each hierarchical scale and efficiently promote osteogenesis. Bioinformatic analysis further reveals that this construct potently activates integrin α5-PI3K/AKT signaling pathway through mechanical and biophysical cues, and thereby repairing critical-sized bone defect. The present study provides a bioinspired strategy for completely resembling complex hierarchy of compact mineralized tissue, and offers a critical research model for in-depth studying the structure-function relationship of bone.

Abstract
Mineralized collagen (MC) is the basic unit of bone structure and function and is the main component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in bone tissue. In the biomimetic method, MC with different nanostructures of neo-bone have been constructed. Among these, extra-fibrous MC has been approved by regulatory agencies and applied in clinical practice to play an active role in bone defect repair. However, in the complex microenvironment of bone defects, such as in blood supply disorders and infections, MC is unable to effectively perform its pro-osteogenic activities and needs to be functionalized to include osteogenesis and the enhancement of angiogenesis, anti-infection, and immunomodulation. This article aimed to discuss the preparation and biological performance of MC with different nanostructures in detail, and summarize its functionalization strategy. Then we describe the recent advances in the osteo-inductive properties and multifunctional coordination of MC. Finally, the latest research progress of functionalized biomimetic MC, along with the development challenges and future trends, are discussed. This paper provides a theoretical basis and advanced design philosophy for bone tissue engineering in different bone microenvironments.

Abstract
Fibrillar collagen structures mineralized with hydroxyapatite using the polymer-induced liquid precursor (PILP) process have been explored as synthetic models for studying biomineralization of human hard tissues and have also been applied in the fabrication of scaffolds for hard tissue regeneration. Strontium has important biological functions in bone and has been used as a therapeutic agent for treating diseases that result in bone defects, such as osteoporosis. Here, we developed a strategy to mineralize collagen with Sr-doped hydroxyapatite (HA) using the PILP process. Doping with Sr altered the crystal lattice of HA and inhibited the degree of mineralization in a concentration-dependent manner, but did not affect the unique formation of intrafibrillar minerals using the PILP. The Sr-doped HA nanocrystals were aligned in the [001] direction but did not recapitulate the parallel alignment of the c-axis of pure Ca HA in relation to the collagen fiber long axis. The mimicry of doping Sr in PILP-mineralized collagen can help understand the doping of Sr in natural hard tissues and during treatment. The fibrillary mineralized collagen with Sr-doped HA will be explored in future work as biomimetic and bioactive scaffolds for regeneration of bone and tooth dentin.

Abstract
The mineralization of type I collagen is a biological process occurring in vertebrates by which some hard tissues such as bone and dentin are constructed. Due to the extensive clinical needs for bone defect repair and remineralization of mineral-depleted dentin, biomimetic mineralization of collagen is attracting more and more interests. Synthetic analogs of noncollagenous proteins are necessary for directing the in vitro mineralization. In this paper, the function and mechanism of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) in regulating the mineralization, especially intrafibrillar mineralization (IM) of collagen are reviewed. As two mineralization patterns (extrafibrillar and intrafibrillar) co-exist in natural hard tissues, differences between them in terms of microstructure, biodegradation, cytocompatibility, osteoinduction in vitro, and performance in vivo are systematically compared. Then the roles of PAA in biomimetic collagen IM within one-analog and two-analog systems are discussed, respectively. Moreover, mineralization of some self-mineralizable collagen matrices is described. Due to the interactions between collagen and PAA play a crucial role in the processes of collagen mineralization, some reference researches are also provided involving the collagen/PAA interactions in some other fields. Finally, this review is ended with an outlook for future potential improvements based on the collection of existing bottlenecks in this field.

Abstract
Burn has terrible consequences for the affected patients, making them vulnerable to wound infections and septicemia, which results in physical and mental disability and death, necessitating superior treatment options. Human amniotic membrane (HAM) has been utilized in burn wounds for decades for its low immunogenicity, angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties and for promoting epithelialization. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), on the other hand, have antimicrobial properties and promote fibroblast migration. This study aimed to determine the burn wound healing potential of HAM + AgNPs. The gel was prepared using HAM (1% and 2%), AgNPs, carbopol 934, acrylic acid, glycerine, and triethanolamine, and different physical properties (pH, water absorption, swelling variation, spreadability, etc.) of the gel were determined; nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, antibacterial activity, brine shrimp lethality test, and histopathological observation were conducted. In vivo studies with Wistar rats demonstrated better healing capabilities than individual components of the gel. Wound contraction percentage after 20 days was 96.1 ± 0.27% which was highly significant (p < 0.0001), and the epithelialization period was 23.67 ± 2.05 days (p < 0.01) for HAM + AgNPs which was preferable to the positive control, AgNPs, HAM, and negative control; also, the histopathologic observation using hematoxylin and eosin, and Masson's trichrome staining were showed the better healing progress for HAM + AgNPs. Both HAM and AgNPs had antibacterial activities against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. These results indicated that the formulated HAM + AgNPs gel had remarkable effectiveness in burn wound healing compared to others. Further studies will be conducted to determine the molecular mechanism behind wound healing.

Abstract
Background Adhesive monomers are not able to fully encapsulate collagen fibrils in hybrid layer leaving them vulnerable to time-dependent hydrolytic degradation. The current in vitro study was designed for investigation of the remineralization of the resin-dentin hybrid layer using biomimetic analogs by nanoleakage investigation. Material and Methods Firstly, occlusal enamel of thirty human molars was removed exposing flat surface of dentin, then randomly divided into three main groups according to the different remineralizing protocols (n=10) (R): control group (R0), STMP group (R1), and biomimetic remineralizing group (R2). The dentin surface of the STMP and biomimetic remineralizing groups (R1 and R2) was treated with STMP solution, followed by self-etch adhesive application on dentin surface of all groups, and restored with double 2-mm thick layers of resin composite. Each tooth was sectioned perpendicularly to the resin-dentin interface for producing 1-mm thick slaps. Each group was subdivided into four subgroups according to the incubation time to 24 hours, one month, three months, and 4 months. Retrieved slabs were prepared for nanoleakage for evaluation of metallic silver particles distribution percentage at the resin-dentin interface using digital image analysis software. Results There was a statistically significant increase in nanoleakage over time in all three groups. However, the third group showed the least increase in metallic silver uptake over time. Conclusions Hybrid layer could be remineralized by using dual-biomimetic analogs (PAA and STMP). Key words:Hybrid layer, remineralization, nanoleakage, polyacrylic acid, sodium trimetaphosphate.

Abstract
Recently, a de novo synthetic calcium-responsive self-assembly β-sheet peptide ID8 (Ile-Asp-Ile-Asp-Ile-Asp-Ile-Asp) has been developed to serve as the template inducing hydroxyapatite nucleation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ID8 on intrafibrillar mineralization of collagen making full use of its self-assembly ability. The mineralization experiments were carried out in vitro on both bare Type I collagen and fully demineralized dentin samples. The calcium-responsive self-assembly of ID8 was revealed by circular dichroism spectrum, 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid ammonium salt hydrate assay, attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectrum (ATR-FTIR) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Polyacrylic acid (450 kDa) with a concentration of 100 μg ml−1 was selected as the nucleation inhibitor based on the determination of turbidimetry and TEM with selected area electron diffraction (TEM-SAED). The results showed that collagen intrafibrillar mineralization was significantly promoted with the pretreatment of self-assembly ID8 detected by TEM-SAED, SEM, X-ray diffraction and ATR-FTIR. The pretreatment of collagen utilizing self-assembly ID8 not only enhanced intermolecular hydrogen bonding but also contributed to calcium retention inside collagen and significantly increased the hydrophilicity of collagen. These results indicated that peptides with self-assembly properties like ID8 are expected to be potential tools for biomimetic mineralization of collagen.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop and characterize an ion-releasing experimental fiber-reinforced flowable composite (Bio-SFRC) and dentin treatment solution made of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) with a high molecular weight. In addition we also evaluated the interface structure and mineralization potential between the Bio-SFRC and dentin. METHODS Some mechanical properties (flexural properties and fracture toughness) of Bio-SFRC in comparison with commercial inert (G-aenial Flo X) and ion-releasing materials (ACTIVA-BioActive Base/Liner and Fuji II LC) were assessed (n = 8/group). Calcium-release at different time-points was measured during the first six weeks by using a calcium-ion selective electrode. Surface analysis of composites after being stored in simulated body fluid (SBF) was investigated by using SEM/EDS. Dentin disks (n = 50) were prepared from extracted sound teeth and demineralization was simulated by acid etching. SEM/EDS was used to evaluate the microstructure of dentin on the top surface and at interface with composites after being stored in SBF. RESULTS Bio-SFRC showed higher fracture toughness (1.6 MPa m1/2) (p < 0.05) compared to Flo X (1.2 MPa m1/2), ACTIVA (1 MPa m1/2) and Fuji II LC (0.8 MPa m1/2). Accumulative calcium release after six weeks from Bio-SFRC (15 mg/l) was higher than other tested ion-releasing materials (≈ 6 mg/l). Mineralization was clearly seen at the interface between treated dentin and Bio-SFRC. None of the commercial tested materials showed signs of mineralization at the interface and dentinal tubules remained open. SIGNIFICANCE Developing such reinforced ion-releasing flowable composite and PAA solution might offer the potential for mineralization at the interface and inside the organic matrix of demineralized dentin.

Abstract
Bone is a typical inorganic-organic composite material with a multilevel hierarchical organization. In the lowest level of bone tissue, inorganic minerals, which are mainly composed of hydroxyapatite, are mineralized within the type I collagen fibril scaffold. Understanding the crystal prenucleation mechanism and growth of the inorganic phase is particularly important in the design and development of materials with biomimetic nanostructures. In this study, we built an all-atom human type I collagen fibrillar model with a 67 nm overlap/gap D-periodicity. Arginine residues were shown to serve as the dominant cross-linker to stabilize the fibril scaffold. Subsequently, the prenucleation mechanism of collagen intrafibrillar mineralization was investigated using a molecular dynamics approach. Considering the physiological pH of the human body (i.e., ∼7.4), HPO42- was initially used to simulate the protonation state of the phosphate ions. Due to the spatially constrained effects resulting from the overlap/gap structure of the collagen fibrils, calcium phosphate clusters formed mainly inside the hole zone but with different spatial distributions along the long axis direction; this indicated that the nucleation of calcium phosphate may be highly site-selective. Furthermore, the model containing both HPO42- and PO43- in the solution phase formed significantly larger clusters without any change in the nucleation sites. This phenomenon suggests that the existence of PO43- is beneficial for the mineralization process, and so the conversion of HPO42- to PO43- was considered a critical step during mineralization. Finally, we summarize the nucleation mechanism for collagen intrafibrillar mineralization, which could contribute to the fabrication of mineralized collagen biomimetic materials.

Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 218:1021-1032.

Abstract
Grifola frondosa (G. frondosa) is widely known for its anti-tumor potential, which has been demonstrated by numerous scientific researches. In this study, two water soluble polysaccharide-protein complexes were extracted from G. frondosa at 4 °C (GFG-4) and 100 °C (GFG-100) and purified. Compared with GFG-100, GFG-4 had a higher protein content and molecular weight. The main monosaccharides of GFG-4 and GFG-100 were rhamnose, glucose, and galactose, with an approximate ratio of 3.00: 1.00: 0.86 and 2.85: 1.00: 0.94, respectively. The Fourier transform infrared spectra indicated that the two polysaccharide-protein complexes displayed characteristic functional groups of polysaccharides and proteins, and mainly contain pyranose ring with α-glycosidic linkage. Atomic force microscope images showed that both GFG-4 and GFG-100 exhibited straight chains, and GFG-4 possessed a relatively abundant fraction of branched chains. Intriguingly, GFG-4 showed a stronger antiproliferative activity against HepG2 cells than GFG-100. The mechanisms were further investigated by quantitative real-time PCR and western blot, it found that GFG-4 inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 cells mainly through the intrinsic activation of mitochondrial pathway and the Fas/FasL-mediated Caspase-8/-3 pathway. Conclusively, G. frondosa cold-water extracted polysaccharide-protein complexes could be used as a functional food for preventing or treating hepatocellular carcinoma.

Zhang Q, Guo J, Huang Z, Mai S. Promotion Effect of Carboxymethyl Chitosan on Dental Caries via Intrafibrillar Mineralization of Collagen and Dentin Remineralization. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15144835. [PMID: 35888302 PMCID: PMC9319914 DOI: 10.3390/ma15144835] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2022] [Revised: 06/26/2022] [Accepted: 07/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Objective: To observe ultrastructural changes during the process of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC)-mediated intrafibrillar mineralization, we evaluated the biomimetic remineralization potential of CMC in type-I collagen fibrils and membranes, and further explored the bond strength as well as the bond interfacial integrity of the biomimetic remineralized artificial caries-affected dentin (ACAD). Methods: A mineralized solution containing 200 μg/mL CMC was used to induce type-I collagen biomimetic remineralization in ACAD, while traditional mineralization without CMC was used as a control. The process and pattern of mineralization were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) as well as structured illumination microscopy (SIM). The Vickers hardness test was used to quantify the dentin hardness, while the microtensile bond strength (µTBS) test was used to assess the bond strength and durability. The bond interfacial integrity was evaluated by a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). Results: TEM, SEM, and SIM images showed that CMC had a positive effect on stabilizing amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) and promoting intrafibrillar mineralization, while extrafibrillar mineralization was formed without CMC. Furthermore, hardness evaluation and µTBS proved that CMC significantly increased dentin hardness and bond strength. CLSM indicated that CMC could create a significantly better bond interfacial integrity with less of a micro-gap in ACAD. Significance: CMC possessed the ability to promote intrafibrillar mineralization and remineralization in demineralized caries dentin lesions, as well as improve bond performance, which implied its potential in carious dentin demineralization or dentin hypersensitivity and possibly even as a possible material for indirect pulp-capping, to deal with deep caries. Highlights: CMC possessed the ability to induce intrafibrillar mineralization effectively; the bond strength and bond durability of demineralized caries dentin were improved via CMC-induced remineralization; the CMC-induced remineralization complex is a potential material for indirect pulp-capping, to deal with deep caries.

Abstract
Enamel demineralization, as a type of frequently-occurring dental problem that affects both the health and aesthetics of patients, is a concern for both dental professionals and patients. The main chemical composition of the enamel, hydroxyapatite, is easy to be dissolved under acid attack, resulting in the occurrence of enamel demineralization. Among agents for the preventing or treatment of enamel demineralization, amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) has gradually become a focus of research. Based on the nonclassical crystallization theory, ACP can induce the formation of enamel-like hydroxyapatite and thereby achieve enamel remineralization. However, ACP has poor stability and tends to turn into hydroxyapatite in an aqueous solution resulting in the loss of remineralization ability. Therefore, ACP needs to be stabilized in an amorphous state before application. Herein, ACP stabilizers, including amelogenin and its analogs, casein phosphopeptides, polymers like chitosan derivatives, carboxymethylated PAMAM and polyelectrolytes, together with their mechanisms for stabilizing ACP are briefly reviewed. Scientific evidence supporting the remineralization ability of these ACP agents are introduced. Limitations of existing research and further prospects of ACP agents for clinical translation are also discussed.

Abstract
The Liesegang phenomenon is a spontaneous pattern formation, which is a periodic distribution of the precipitate discovered in diffusion-limited systems. Over the past century, it has been experimentally attempted to control the periodicity of patterns and structures of precipitates by varying the concentration of the hydrogel or electrolytes, adding organic or inorganic impurities, and applying an electric or pH field. In this work, the periodic patterns of calcium phosphate were manipulated with an anionic macromolecular additive inspired by bone mineralization in which various noncollagenous proteins are involved in the formation of a polymer-induced liquid precursor. The periodic patterns were systematically controlled by adjusting the amount of poly(acrylic acid), and they were numerically simulated by adjusting the threshold concentration of nucleation. The change of the pattern is explained by improved stability and directional diffusion of the intermediate.

Abstract
Mineralized collagen fibrils are important basic building blocks of calcified tissues, such as bone and dentin. Polydopamine (PDA) can introduce functional groups, i.e., hydroxyl and amine groups, on the surfaces of type I collagen (Col-I) as possible nucleation sites of calcium phosphate (CaP) crystallization. Molecular bindings in between PDA and Col-I fibrils (Col-PDA) have been found to significantly reduce the interfacial energy. The wetting effect, mainly hydrophilicity due to the functional groups, escalates the degree of mineralization. The assembly of Col-I molecules into fibrils was initiated at the designated number of collagenous molecules and PDA. In contrast to the infiltration of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) precursors into the Col-I matrix by polyaspartic acid (pAsp), this collagen assembly process allows nucleation and ACP to exist in advance by PDA in the intrafibrillar matrix. PDA bound to specific sites, i.e., gap and overlap zones, by the regular arrangement of Col-I fibrils enhanced ACP nucleation and thus mineralization. As a result, the c-axis-oriented platelets of crystalline hydroxyapatite in the Col-I fibril matrix were observed in the enhanced mineralization through PDA functionalization.

Abstract
We investigated the plasticity and polarization of THP-1 cells on native and regenerated silk-based biomaterials to address the basic paradigm of immune response. Here, we report redox kinetics, adhesion morphology, and nitric oxide release patterns to identify specific subtypes of macrophages at different time points. Water-annealed silk film and native fibrous braids from Bombyx mori silkworms showed higher anti-inflammatory cytokine profiles or M2 subtypes (as evidenced by the enhanced expression of interleukin-10, interleukin-13, and interleukin-4). Ethanol-treated Bombyx mori silk films and Antheraea mylitta braids exhibited higher levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines or the M1 subtype (as evidenced by enhanced expression of interleukin-1, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, interferon-γ, TNF-α, and GM-CSF) in contact with healthy THP monocytes for 14 days; such a long study is unprecedented. Cytokine microarray analysis revealed the transition (M0-M1, M1-M2), plasticity, and stable phenotype of THP-1 cells in a variable stage in contact with different physicochemical properties of silk-based biomaterials. The detailed immunogenicity in the context of the physicochemical properties of native and regenerative silk-based biomaterials will enable us to accurately predict the possibility of a pro-/anti-inflammatory response. It will helps to predict the in vivo reprogramming and avoid fibrosis formation to enhance their clinical translational potential.

Abstract
Rebuilding mineralized tissues in skeletal and dental systems remains costly and challenging. Despite numerous demands and heavy clinical burden over the world, sources of autografts, allografts, and xenografts are far limited, along with massive risks including viral infections, ethic crisis, and so on. Per such dilemma, artificial scaffolds have emerged to provide efficient alternatives. To date, cell-free biomimetic mineralization (BM) and cell-dependent scaffolds have both demonstrated promising capabilities of regenerating mineralized tissues. However, BM and cell-dependent scaffolds have distinctive mechanisms for mineral genesis, which makes them methodically, synthetically, and functionally disparate. Herein, these two strategies in regenerative dentistry and orthopedics are systematically summarized at the level of mechanisms. For BM, methodological and theoretical advances are focused upon; and meanwhile, for cell-dependent scaffolds, it is demonstrated how scaffolds orchestrate osteogenic cell fate. The summary of the experimental advances and clinical progress will endow researchers with mechanistic understandings of artificial scaffolds in rebuilding hard tissues, by which better clinical choices and research directions may be approached.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study effects of bioactive glass with high phosphorus content (10.8% P2O5, 54.2% SiO2, 35% CaO, mol%, named PSC) on mineralization of type I collagen fibrils. METHODS (1) PSC, and PSC combining 0.1 mg/mL, 0.5 mg/mL, or 1.0 mg/mL polyacrylic acid (PAA), were used to induce the mineralization of self-assembled type I collagen fibrils. After 3 and 7 days of mineralization, collagen fibrils were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). (2) PSC suspension was dialyzed in simulated body fluid (SBF), or in SBF containing 0.1 mg/mL, 0.5 mg/mL, or 1.0 mg/mL PAA, to form amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), then observed by TEM. RESULTS (1) PSC and PSC combining 0.1 mg/mL or 0.5 mg/mL PAA induced mainly extrafibrillar mineralization. PSC combining 1.0 mg/mL PAA induced both extrafibrillar and intrafibrillar mineralization. (2) The ACP induced by PSC or PSC combining 0.1 mg/mL PAA partly formed lattice structure after 24 h. The particle size of the ACP induced by PSC combining 0.5 mg/mL PAA was 100-150 nm, and that induced by PSC combining 1.0 mg/mL PAA was 30-50 nm. CONCLUSION PSC induced mainly extrafibrillar mineralization, and PSC combining an appropriate concentration (1.0 mg/mL) of PAA induced both extrafibrillar and intrafibrillar mineralization.

Abstract
Conventional dental materials lack of the hierarchical architecture of enamel that exhibits excellent intrinsic-extrinsic mechanical properties. Moreover, restorative failures frequently occur due to physical and chemical mismatch between artificial materials and native dental hard tissue followed by recurrent caries which is caused by sugar-fermenting, acidogenic bacteria invasion of the defective cite. In order to resolve the limitations of the conventional dental materials, the aim of this study was to establish a non-cell-based biomimetic strategy to fabricate a novel bioactive material with enamel-like structure and antibacterial adhesion property. The evaporation-based, bottom-up and self-assembly method with layer-by-layer technique were used to form a large-area fluorapatite crystal layer containing antibacterial components. The multilayered structure was constructed by hydrothermal growth of the fluorapatite crystal layer and highly conformal adsorption to the crystal surface of a polyelectrolyte matrix film. Characterization and mechanical assessment demonstrated that the synthesized bioactive material resembled the native enamel in chemical components, mechanical properties and crystallographic structure. Antibacterial and cytocompatibility evaluation demonstrated that this material had the antibacterial adhesion property and biocompatibility. In combination with the molecular dynamics simulations to reveal the effects of variables on the crystallization mechanism, this study brings new prospects for the synthesis of enamel-inspired materials. A simple chemistry approach was offered to synthesize a enamel-like material without using cells or proteins. A macroscopic bioactive material resembled the native enamel with the antibacterial adhension propery was fabricated. Combining experiments and molecular dynamics simulations revealed effects of variables on the crystallization mechanism.

Abstract
Collagen mineralization is a biological process in many skeletal elements in the animal kingdom. Examples of these collagen-based skeletons are the siliceous spicules of glass sponges or the intrafibrillar hydroxyapatite platelets in vertebrates. The mineralization of collagen in vitro has gained interest for two reasons: understanding the processes behind bone formation and the synthesis of scaffolds for tissue engineering. In this paper, the efforts toward collagen mineralization in vitro are reviewed. First, general introduction toward collagen type I, the main component of the extracellular matrix in animals, is provided, followed by a brief overview of collagenous skeletons. Then, the in vitro mineralization of collagen is critically reviewed. Due to their biological abundance, hydroxyapatite and silica are the focus of this review. To a much lesser extent, also some efforts with other minerals are outlined. Combining all minerals and the suggested mechanisms for each mineral, a general mechanism for the intrafibrillar mineralization of collagen is proposed. This review concludes with an outlook for further improvement of collagen-based tissue engineering scaffolds.

Abstract
Periodic fluid shear stress (FSS) is one of the main mechanical microenvironments in mineralization of bone matrix. To elucidate the mechanism of periodic FSS in collagen mineralization, a mechanical loading induced mineralization system is developed and compared with traditional polyacrylic acid (PAA) induced mineralization. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, calcium-to-phosphorus molar ratio and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrate that both periodic FSS and PAA can control the size of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) to avoid aggregation and help the formation of intrafibrillar mineralization. Differently, periodic FSS under a proper cycle and range can accelerate the conversion of ACP to apatite crystals and alleviate the reduced transformation caused by PAA. Under the action of template analogues, periodic FSS can also promote the formation of highly oriented hierarchical intrafibrillar mineralized (HIM) collagen. These findings are helpful for understanding the mechanism of collagen mineralization in natural bone matrix and contribute to the design of novel bone substitute materials with hierarchical structures.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of incorporating phosphorylated chitosan/amorphous calcium phosphate nanocomplex (Pchi/ACP) into an experimental light-cure composite resin on mechanical-chemical properties and human dentin remineralization. The results showed that the mechanical strength and contact angles of the resins decreased with the increase incorporation of Pchi/ACP. Release concentrations of calcium in saline solution were measured at different time points, showing the incorporation of Pchi/ACP significantly increased calcium release within 14 days, and kept steady thereafter. Finally, the demineralized dentin slabs treated with our resins for four weeks were characterized by SEM-EDS. Various amounts of apatite were formed on the dentin slabs which were treated with the resins containing Pchi/ACP, whereas no apatite was formed without Pchi/ACP. In conclusion, the Pchi/ACP-incorporating composite resin can be a promising dental material due to its favorable mechanical and remineralization properties.

Abstract
Infection in hard tissue regeneration is a clinically-relevant challenge. Development of scaffolds with dual function for promoting bone/dental tissue growth and preventing bacterial infections is a critical need in the field. Here we fabricated hybrid scaffolds by intrafibrillar-mineralization of collagen using a biomimetic process and subsequently coating the scaffold with an antimicrobial designer peptide with cationic and amphipathic properties. The highly hydrophilic mineralized collagen scaffolds provided an ideal substrate to form a dense and stable coating of the antimicrobial peptides. The amount of hydroxyapatite in the mineralized fibers modulated the rheological behavior of the scaffolds with no influence on the amount of recruited peptides and the resulting increase in hydrophobicity. The developed scaffolds were potent by contact killing of Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Streptococcus gordonii as well as cytocompatible to human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells. The process of scaffold fabrication is versatile and can be used to control mineral load and/or intrafibrillar-mineralized scaffolds made of other biopolymers. A biomimetic intrafibrillar-mineralized scaffold was prepared using a non-classical pathway for mineralization. The mineralized scaffold was stably coated with designer antimicrobial peptide GL13K. The hybrid scaffold was cytocompatible and potent against biofilms of model Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The mineral content affected the rheological properties of the scaffolds, but not the loading of antimicrobial peptides.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) reinforced collagen fibrils serve as the basic building blocks of natural bone and dentin. Mineralization of collagen fibrils play an essential role in ensuring the structural and mechanical functionalities of hard tissues such as bone and dentin. Biomineralization of collagen can be divided into intrafibrillar and extrafibrillar mineralization in terms of HA distribution relative to collagen fibrils. Intrafibrillar mineralization is termed when HA minerals are incorporated within the gap zone of collagen fibrils, while extrafibrillar mineralization refers to the minerals that are formed on the surface of collagen fibrils. However, the mechanisms resulting in these two types of mineralization still remain debatable. In this review, the evolution of both classical and non-classical biomineralization theories is summarized. Different intrafibrillar mineralization mechanisms, including polymer induced liquid precursor (PILP), capillary action, electrostatic attraction, size exclusion, Gibbs-Donnan equilibrium, and interfacial energy guided theories, are discussed. Exemplary strategies to induce biomimetic intrafibrillar mineralization using non-collagenous proteins (NCPs), polymer analogs, small molecules, and fluidic shear stress are discussed, and recent applications of mineralized collagen fibers for bone regeneration and dentin repair are included. Finally, conclusions are drawn on these proposed mechanisms, and the future trend of collagen-based materials for bone regeneration and tooth repair is speculated.

Abstract
Dental clinicians have relied for centuries on traditional dental materials (polymers, ceramics, metals, and composites) to restore oral health and function to patients. Clinical outcomes for many crucial dental therapies remain poor despite many decades of intense research on these materials. Recent attention has been paid to biomolecules as a chassis for engineered preventive, restorative, and regenerative approaches in dentistry. Indeed, biomolecules represent a uniquely versatile and precise tool to enable the design and development of bioinspired multifunctional dental materials to spur advancements in dentistry. In this review, we survey the range of biomolecules that have been used across dental biomaterials. Our particular focus is on the key biological activity imparted by each biomolecule toward prevention of dental and oral diseases as well as restoration of oral health. Additional emphasis is placed on the structure-function relationships between biomolecules and their biological activity, the unique challenges of each clinical condition, limitations of conventional therapies, and the advantages of each class of biomolecule for said challenge. Biomaterials for bone regeneration are not reviewed as numerous existing reviews on the topic have been recently published. We conclude our narrative review with an outlook on the future of biomolecules in dental biomaterials and potential avenues of innovation for biomaterial-based patient oral care.

Abstract
The periodontal structure is a particularly exquisite model of hierarchical spatial control of mineralization. Extracellular matrix control in the selective mineralization of the periodontium complex remains elusive since the extracellular matrix is a set of mineralization promoters and inhibitors. The phosphorylated proteins, which are ubiquitous in the extracellular matrix of the periodontium complex, are well-documented as primary factors in the regulation of tissue mineralization. Whether organic phosphates are key regulators in defining the interfaces between dentin, cementum, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone is an issue worthy of research. Here, we investigated the in vitro remineralization process of demineralized and dephosphorylated periodontal tissue sections. When exposed to a metastable mineralization solution, a large number of calcospherulites deposited on the surface of the dephosphorylated sections and the tissue selective mineralization were disrupted. Interestingly, on adding a dentin matrix protein-1 analogue named polyacrylic acid, the surface mineralization rate in the dephosphorylated periodontal complex reduced dramatically. In contrast, hierarchical mineralization was displayed by the demineralized section at the tissue collagen fibrillar levels in both alveolar bone and dentin regions. These results demonstrated that the organic phosphate could prevent surface mineral deposition, and the minerals could penetrate the collagen fibrils to initiate a selective and hierarchal tissue mineralization with the assistance of the dentin matrix protein-1 analogue in the periodontal complex. This study enhances our understanding of the mineralization discrepancy in the periodontal tissues, which will provide some insight into the development of biomaterials for the regeneration of soft-hard tissue interfaces.

Abstract
The understanding of the mineralization of collagen for bone formation is a current key theme in bone tissue engineering and is of great relevance to the fabrication of novel biomimetic bone grafting materials. The noncollagenous proteins (NCPs) play a vital role in bone formation and are considered to be responsible for regulating intrafibrillar penetration of minerals into collagen fibrils by means of their abundant polyanionic domains. In this study, alginate, as a NCPs analogue, was introduced in the mineralization of collagen to mediate the collagen self-assembly with simultaneous hydroxyapatite (HA) synthesis. The biomimetic systems were based upon the self-assembly of collagen (Col) or collagen-alginate (CA) in the absence or presence of a varying content of HA. The alginate-mediated effects were found to include the lateral aggregation of small fibrils into the extremely large bundles and the assisted deposition of HA for a larger mineralized fibril. This alginate-assisted mineralization of collagen gave rise to an exquisite 3D mineralized architecture with enhanced mechanical property. The cell viability experiments showed the excellent proliferation and spreading morphologies of rat bone mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on the assembled products, and a higher expression of osteogenic differentiation related transcription factor was obtained in the alginate-assisted mineralization of collagen. This study indicated that the selection of an appropriate substance, e.g., alginate as an anionic polyelectrolyte with Ca-capturing property, could be a convenient, simple solution to achieve a mineralized collagen scaffold with the reinforced mechanical property for potential applications in bone regeneration.

Abstract
Grafting bone substitute is paramount to prevent the alveolar ridge resorption after tooth extraction and facilitate the subsequent implant treatment. An ideal bone substitute should acquire the excellent osteogenic property, more importantly, possess the suitable remodeling rate in balance with bone formation and desirable clinical manageability. However, none of bone substitute is simultaneously characterized by these features, and currently, the limited remodeling property leads to the excessive waiting time before implantation. Enlightened by woven bone, the transitional tissue that is able to induce osteogenesis during bone healing could be easily remodeled within a short period and depend on the favorable injectability of hydrogel, an injectable woven bone-like hydrogel (IWBLH) was constructed in this study to address the above problems. To mimic the component and hierarchical structure of woven bone, amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) and mineralized collagen fibril were synthesized and compounded with alginate to form IWBLHs with various ratio. Screened by physiochemical characterization and in vitro biological assays, an optimal IWBLH was selected and further explored in rat model of tooth extraction. Compared with the most widely used bone substitute, we showed that IWBLH could be easily handled to fully fill the tooth socket, perform a comparable function to prevent the alveolar bone resorption, and completely remodeled within 4 weeks. This IWBLH stands as a promising candidate for alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) in future.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to systematically investigate the influence of molecular weight (MW) and concentration of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC), which served as non-collagenous protein (NCP) surrogates, on biomimetic mineralization of type I collagen. Supersaturated CMC-stabilized amorphous calcium-phosphate (CMC-ACP) dispersions containing different MWs (20 kDa, 60 kDa, 150 kDa) and concentrations (25, 50, 100, 200, 400 μg ml−1) of CMC were prepared. After mineralization in the aforementioned dispersions for 7 days, the pattern and extent of biomimetic mineralization of collagen scaffolds were investigated. Our study showed that increasing CMC concentration resulted in increasing stability and decreasing particle size of CMC-ACP dispersions. Images from scanning and transmission electron microscopy revealed that intrafibrillar mineralization of collagen was obtained with 20k-200, 60k-100, 60k-200 and 150k-200 CMC-ACP dispersions, with hydroxyapatite (HAp) formation confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements, whereas HAp formed extrafibrillar clusters in other collagen scaffolds. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the combined effect of MW and concentration of CMC contributed to different extents of biomimetic mineralization, and was correlated with the stability and particle size of CMC-ACP dispersions, and the size-exclusion characteristics of type I collagen. The results of this work support the effective function of CMC as NCP analogs, and provide parameters of MWs and concentrations of CMC for applications in hard tissue engineering as well as insights into intersections of mechanisms in biomimetic mineralization. The study systematically investigated the influence of molecular weight and concentration of CMC on CMC-ACP nanoparticles and biomimetic mineralization.![]()

Abstract
We used cellulose and a nonclassical mineralization process to fabricate a bioinspired nanohybrid material that exhibited structural features and properties similar to those of human hard tissues. We made a hydrogel with highly compacted and aligned cellulose nanofibers. We thoroughly mineralized the cellulose hydrogel with hydroxyapatite nanocrystals, using poly(acrylic acid) as a soluble template for precursor minerals, which infiltrated the nanocompartments of the aligned cellulose nanofiber network. The ultrastructure and mechanical properties of the mineralized gels were strikingly similar to those of bone and dentin, which supports further use of cellulose-based fibrillary materials as affordable, biocompatible scaffolds for repair and regeneration of hard tissues. The versatility of the bioinspired mineralization processes used here can broaden the applications of these cellulosic nanohybrids.

Abstract
A single biomineralization of demineralized dentin is significant to restore the demineralized dentin due to dental caries or erosion. In recent years, meaningful progress has been made regarding the mechanisms involved in the biomineralization of dentin collagen. Concepts changing from the classical ion-based crystallization to non-classical particle-based crystallization, inspired a different strategy to infiltrate the demineralized dentin collagen. The remarkable discovery was the report of liquid-like amorphous calcium phosphate as nanoprecursor particles to carbonated hydroxyapatite. The non-collagenous proteins and their analogues are widely investigated, for their key role in controlling mineralization during the process of crystal nucleation and growth. The in-depth studies of the gap zone provided significant improvements in our understanding of the structure of collagen and of the intrafibrillar remineralization of collagen fibrils. The collagen is not a passive substrate as previously supposed, and the active role of guiding nanoprecursor infiltration and mediating its nucleation has been demonstrated. Furthermore, recovery of mechanical properties has been evaluated to determine the effectiveness of dentin remineralization. Finally, the problems regarding the origin formation of the calcium phosphate that is deposited in the collagen, and the exact interactions between the non-collagenous proteins, amorphous calcium phosphate and collagen are still unclear. We reviewed the importance of these findings in enriching our understanding of dentin biomineralization, while addressing certain limitations that are inherent to in vitro studies.
