Synthesis of Natural Nano-Hydroxyapatite from Snail Shells and Its Biological Activity: Antimicrobial, Antibiofilm, and Biocompatibility

Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAn) have been produced as biomaterial from biowaste, especially snail shells (<i>Atactodea glabrata)</i>. It is critical to recycle the waste product in a biomedical application to overcome antibiotic resistance as well as biocompatibility with normal tissu...
