Funded Activity Summary

Nano-mechanical and nano-structural investigation of dentine: unravelling a novel nano-scale regulator of high durability of mineralised tissues. This project proposes that proteoglycans (PG) are key regulators of the high durability of dentine. PGs are primarily responsible for the structural organization of collagen in all vertebrates, however virtually nothing is known about their role on the biomechanics of mineralized tissues. This study aims to thoroughly address this question.
