Innate Biomineralization [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 In vertebrates, biomineralization is a feature considered unique to mature osteoblasts and odontoblasts by which they synthesize hydroxyapatite (HAP), which is deposited in the collagen matrix to construct endoskeleton. For many decades, the mechanisms that modulate differentiation and maturation of these specialized cells have been sought as a key to ...

Current Biology, 2021 Fungi are key organisms of the biosphere with major roles in organic-matter decomposition, element cycling, plant pathogenicity, and symbioses in aquatic and terrestrial habitats. The vast majority exhibit a filamentous, branching growth form and are aerobic chemoorganotrophs that derive carbon and energy from organic substances, and are particularly ...

The magnetosome model: insights into the mechanisms of bacterial biomineralization. [PDF]
, 2013 Though the most ready example of biomineralization is the calcium phosphate of vertebrate bones and teeth, many bacteria are capable of creating biominerals inside their cells.

Deficiency of annexins A5 and A6 induces complex changes in the transcriptome of growth plate cartilage but does not inhibit the induction of mineralization [PDF]
, 2009 Initiation of mineralization during endochondral ossification is a multistep process and has been assumed to correlate with specific interactions of annexins A5 and A6 and collagens.

Ultrastructure of calcareous dinophytes (Thoracosphaeraceae, Peridiniales) with a focus on vacuolar crystal-like particles. [PDF]
, 2013 Biomineralization in calcareous dinophytes (Thoracosphaeracaea, Peridiniales) takes place in coccoid cells and is presently poorly understood. Vacuolar crystal-like particles as well as collection sites within the prospective calcareous shell may play a ...

A Bivalve Biomineralization Toolbox [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2021 Abstract Mollusc shells are a result of the deposition of crystalline and amorphous calcite catalyzed by enzymes and shell matrix proteins (SMP). Developing a detailed understanding of bivalve mollusc biomineralization pathways is complicated not only by the multiplicity of shell forms and microstructures in this class, but also by the ...

Hierarchical bioglass scaffolds: Introducing the "milky way" for templated bioceramics [PDF]
, 2015 Free standing hierarchical bioglass scaffolds were prepared by the ISISA (ice-segregation-induced self-assembly) method. Commercial low-cost precursors such as Ludox® HS-40 and cow milk were employed as the source of SiO2 and biominerals (Ca(ii), P(v ...
