    Abstract:

    As a main inorganic component of the human bone, hydroxyapatite (HA) is widely used in hard tissue repair and replacement. With high surface area and excellent fluidity, HA microspheres have gained extensive interests for biomedical applications. This article reviews the synthesis of HA microspheres with nanostructures, with a special focus on the use of soft and hard templates. The formation mechanism of these microspheres and related nanostructures are also discussed in detail. Problems in current synthesis methods are identified and the future trends of this emerging field are also discussed.
