Control Strategies in Guanine Biocrystallization

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 18, 27 April 2026.
Biological guanine crystals produce spectacular photonic phenomena in animals and hold great promise as new, sustainable optical materials. We review how organisms precisely control the structure, morphologies, and resulting optical properties of these crystals using a set of ingenious ‘design’ strategies, including control of pH, template‐directed ...

Species‐Specific Vulnerability of Northern Red Sea Mesophotic Corals to Accelerated Warming

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Mesophotic reefs are often considered climate refuges, yet experimental thermal‐stress reveals species‐dependent vulnerability. Skeletal optics, energy reserves, and light environment determine bleaching severity. A depth‐generalist coral resisted stress while the mesophotic specialist bleached severely.

Crystal Facets Reactivity in Metal–Organic Frameworks

Israel Journal of Chemistry, Volume 66, Issue 3, May 2026.
In this mini review, it is highlighted how the crystal facets reactivity of metal–organic frameworks can be dictated by bond strength, surface functionality, particle size, defect density, or crystal morphology. Precise control of these parameters enables deliberate exposure of crystal facets, leading to enhanced crystal surface accessibility and ...

Egg yolk hydrolysate shows moderate impact on osteoporosis in ovariectomized rats

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 7, Page 4218-4227, May 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study investigated the protective effect of egg yolk hydrolysate (FC) on osteoporosis in ovariectomized (OVX) rats, a well‐established model of postmenopausal bone loss. OVX rats were fed diets supplemented with 0.2% or 1% FC for 13 weeks.

Membrane Vesicle Formation Removes Iron Sulfide Mineral Crusts From the Cell Surface of Growing Sulfate‐Reducing Bacteria

Geobiology, Volume 24, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Sulfate‐reducing bacteria (SRB) drive the process of sulfate reduction in low‐temperature sedimentary environments. Through the production of sulfide, they promote the formation of iron‐sulfide (Fe‐S) minerals when Fe(II) is available. The negative charge of the cell surface of bacteria can promote the binding of Fe(II), leading to the ...

Microbially Mediated Intracellular Barite Mineralization: Evidence From an Early Ediacaran Microfossil in the Doushantuo Formation of South China

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Barite serves as a key proxy for reconstructing paleo‐oceanic productivity and chemistry in modern and ancient marine sediments. Although contemporary barite precipitation involves biological mediation, the mechanisms responsible for ancient barite formation remain unclear.
