Abstract
The calcium phosphates (CaPs) costitute a family of materials widely used in tissue engineering, medicine, and biotechnology, due to properties such as high biocompatibility, bioactivity and biodegradability. In the form of nanoparticles (NPs), CaPs and, specially, hydroxyapatite (HA), has been explored in modern nanomedicine as an important tool for diagnosis and therapy of diseases incl…
