Why Crystal Structure Matters: Decoding the Performance of Calcium Phosphate Biomaterials
In the world of calcium phosphate biomaterials, crystal structure is often the silent driver behind a material’s success—or failure. Whether we are developing bone graft substitutes or studying bioceramic interactions at the tissue interface, understanding the underlying crystal lattice isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.
YCN Newsletter 27 - yCAM 2025 in focus from a participant's point of view - Soufiane Satha
YCAM 2025 in Toulouse was one of those events that leave you both exhausted and completely recharged at the same time. Over three packed days, I experienced a dynamic mix of cutting-edge research, engaging discussions, and an atmosphere that reminded me just how fortunate I am to be part of this vibrant community.
