Scientists from UC Irvine, in collaboration with researchers from the US and Japan, have developed a synthetic yeast system that transforms human urine into hydroxyapatite, a crucial component for bone and dental implants.

New Process Uses Microbes to Create Valuable Materials from Urine Engineered yeast can produce artificial bone and other materials while lowering the cost of wastewater management

#Hydroxyapatite is used in surgery and dentistry to repair these structures when they’re broken, and the lightweight material’s remarkable strength and toughness make it an excellent candidate building material and even as a replacement for some types of plastic.

This fluoride pos discusses me to my core. I have to brush at least twice to remove everything, then the fuzzy plaque feeling is back before lunch, brush again, repeat. It’s horrible. Not the brand, the formula. #smb #toothepaste #fluoride #hydroxyapatite never going back to fluoride

The physico-chemical characteristics of bone mineral remain heavily debated. On the nanoscale, bone mineral resides both inside and outside the collagen fibril as distinct compartments fused together into a cohesive continuum. On the micrometre level, larger aggregates are arranged in a staggered pattern described as crossfibrillar tessellation. Unlike geological and synthetic hydroxy(l)apatite, bone mineral is a unique form of apatite deficient in calcium and hydroxyl ions with distinctive carbonate and acid phosphate substitutions (CHAp), together with a minor contribution of amorphous calcium phosphate as a surface layer around a crystalline core of CHAp. In mammalian bone, an amorphous solid phase has not been observed, though an age-dependent shift in the amorphous-to-crystalline character is observed. Although octacalcium phosphate has been postulated as a bone mineral precursor, there is inconsistent evidence of calcium phosphate phases other than CHAp in the extracellular matrix. In association with micropetrosis, magnesium whitlockite is occasionally detected, indicating pathological calcification rather than a true extracellular matrix component. Therefore, the terms ‘biomimetic’ or ‘bone-like’ should be used cautiously in descriptions of synthetic biomaterials. The practice of reporting the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio (Ca/P) as proxy for bone mineral maturity oversimplifies the chemistry since both Ca2+ and PO43- ions are partially substituted. Moreover, non-mineral sources of phosphorus are ignored. Alternative compositional metrics should be considered. In the context of bone tissue and bone mineral, the term ‘mature’ must be used carefully, with clear criteria that consider both compositional and structural parameters and the potential impact on mechanical properties.
