Elastin-Like Protein, with Statherin Derived Peptide, Controls Fluorapatite Formation and Morphology

The process of enamel biomineralization is multi-step, complex and mediated by organic molecules. The lack of cells in mature enamel leaves it unable to regenerate and hence novel ways of growing enamel-like structures are currently being investigated. Recently, elastin-like protein (ELP) with the a...
