Dynamic Remodeling of the Magnetosome Membrane Is Triggered by the Initiation of Biomineralization

mBio, 2016
Magnetotactic bacteria produce chains of membrane-bound organelles that direct the biomineralization of magnetic nanoparticles. These magnetosome compartments are a model for studying the biogenesis and subcellular organization of bacterial organelles ...

Biomineralization of magnetic minerals [PDF]

, 1995
New developments and discoveries in biomineralization have occurred almost continuously in the intervening decade since the previous IUGG quadrennial report on biomineralization and biomagnetism was published [Kirschvink, 1983].

Screening of biomineralization using microfluidics

, 2009
Biomineralization is the process where biological systems produce well-defined composite structures such as shell, teeth, and bones. Currently, there is substantial momentum to investigate the processes implicated in biomineralization and to unravel the ...

Colloidal Behavior of Carbonate Particles Microbially Precipitated in Microfluidic Droplets

Small, EarlyView.
In Microbially Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (MICP), ureolytic bacteria trigger calcium carbonate precipitation via pH‐increasing urea hydrolysis. This enzymatically driven reaction induces the colloidal assembly of bacteria and carbonate particles into fractal networks.

Genetic parallels in biomineralization of the calcareous sponge Sycon ciliatum and stony corals

eLife
The rapid emergence of mineralized structures in diverse animal groups during the late Ediacaran and early Cambrian periods likely resulted from modifications of pre-adapted biomineralization genes inherited from a common ancestor.

Stimuli‐responsive nanostructured hydrogen sulfide donors for enhanced cancer treatments

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
Three typical kinds of stimuli‐responsive nanostructured hydrogen sulfide (H2S) donors are reviewed. The nanostructures ensure precise delivery of H2S to the lesion site and regulate the release behavior. The H2S‐based gas therapy has been used to synergize with other cancer treatment modalities, achieving enhanced efficacy while reducing side effects.
