Nano-structured hydroxyapatite has several advantages over hydroxyapatite of larger particle size in its use in bone tissue engineering due to its higher surface area and consequently higher reactivity.
The company's nano sized technology is a low density emulsion with particles similar to the structure of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) which acquires the apo E while in the plasma, thus becoming capable of targeting and binding to the specific receptors of LDL existing on the surface of cellular membranes.
