Results indicated that the quantity of deposited minerals increased with increasing mineralization time and showed a three-dimensional structure.
ECM mineralization increased linearly 3 weeks after the beginning of the experiment with addition of differentiation medium.
Patients with thalassemia commonly exhibit inadequate growth, poor immune function, decreased bone mineralization, increased oxidative stress, and all morbidities which link to poor nutritional status [ 5– 7].
SOC mineralization markedly increased with soil moisture content, and correlated parabolically to temperature with the highest value at 15 °C.
Organic C and N mineralization, however, increased with increasing aggregate size for casts, but the opposite trend was observed for the control soil aggregates.
Net N mineralization rates increased with temperature but increases were smaller and more gradual in control and mixed soils than in termite soils.
In this same experiment, N mineralization rates were decreased, while C mineralization increased under elevated CO2 conditions.
The carbon pool mineralized during the first 60 days of the incubation period equaled the estimated labile carbon pool, and the instantaneous mineralization rate positively increased with temperature during this first incubation stage (≥ 70 days), and then the mineralization rate began decreasing and was lowest at 30 °C as the incubation time was longer than 70 days.
These experimental results were predicted by a theoretical model combining mineral growth kinetics with fracture energetics, suggesting that toughness increased with mineralization time until mineral mobility was attenuated by steric hindrance, then returned to baseline levels following the rigid percolation threshold.
It is hypothesized that mineralization will increase with increasing BG content, and the composite will support the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts.
