Human eye is an important organ of the body, it is composed of a number of highly specialized tissues which consist of distinct collagenous structures. Currently there are about twelve genetically distinct types of collagen in mammalian tissues. These types are further clubbed and are characterized biochemically into three groups – Fibrous collagens, non-fibrous collagens…

What is Hydroxyapatite? (HA) Hydroxyapatite, also called hydroxylapatite (HA), is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite. As its name suggests, it is the hydroxylated representative of phosphate minerals known as apatites [chemical formula: Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2]. It is a calcium phosphate similar to the bone mineral in composition. It forms the mineral part of bone…
