Nano bio-encapsulation of phyto-vaccines for cancer has marked a cutting-edge strategy that brings together nanotechnology with plant-derived vaccines to enhance cancer therapy. Phyto-vaccines, isolated from bioactive compounds found in plants called protein bodies, have been shown to potentially stimulate the immune system to recognise and destroy cancer cells. However, challenges such as poor stability, rapid degradation, and limited bioavailability in the body have hindered their clinical application.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHA)'s ability for mineral induction and its cytotoxicity with human dental pulp cells.

Materials And Methods: Precursors for the study include di-ammonium hydrogen phosphate and calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, with sodium hydrogen carbonate added to achieve different levels of carbonate substitution. The synthesized CHA samples are characterized using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy.
