     the promising future of calcium phosphates (cap) as a group of biomedical materials with a wide range of functions, might ultimately depend on tuning their composition and microstructure. however, the disorderly growth and aggregation of cap nanocrystals limit their practical application. this paper reports a strategy for designing polypeptide/trace elements (te), dual mediating the self-assembly of octacalcium phosphate (ocp) nanocrystals, with multilayered porous cross section and te dilute doping. intriguing advantages such as bead morphology, mesoporous structure, tunable diameter (20–1000 μm) and te contents, biodegradability and bioactivity are obtained. the microcomputerized-tomography reconstruction reveals an interconnective macroporous architecture and a void volume of over 49.02% for the nearly close-packed bead scaffolds. the specific surface area and average mesopore size are 89.73 m2 g−1and 2.75 nm for the 180 μm diameter bead group, and those of 500 μm diameter beads are 130.17 m2 g−1 and 3.69 nm, respectively. it is demonstrated that the bead production mechanism is a multistep process including liquid-like precursor formation, nanocrystal nucleation and aggregation, aggregate combination and bead growth. such a multilayer structure of te–ocp porous beads would have adequate physical strength to maintain their shape, in contrast to the physical weakness of pure ocp hollow shell. the beads exhibit good biocompatibility and degradability and encourage bone mineralization in the early stage in vivo. this study demonstrates the feasibility of developing highly porous calcium phosphate giant beads via biomimetic self-assembly for direct application in reconstructive surgery and other widespread applications such as tissue engineering and drug delivery.
