Biomimetic strategies incorporating enzymes into CaP coatings mimicking the in vivo environment

Biomimetic calcium phosphate coating (CaP) methodology mimics the natural biomineralization process of bone, which involves two phases: nucleation and growth. In this chapter we present a successful method to coating biodegradable natural-origin materials with biomimetic CaP layer as a strategy to i...
