The Role of Confinement in Biomineralization

Chemical Reviews
This review focuses on an important but under-explored biogenic strategy used to control biomineralization processes─confinement─where compartmentalization is fundamental to the organization and function of all organisms. Biominerals combine the functionality of inorganic and organic solid-state materials and are constructed under precise biological ...

Common crystallographic control in calcite biomineralization of bivalved shells

, 2007
The knowledge of how mineral-producing organisms exert precise control on their crystallographic orientation is one of the most fundamental questions of biomineralization.

Avian Eggshell Evolutionary Adaptations Inform Biomimetic Strategies for Next‑Generation Precision Cancer Theranostics

Advanced Oncology, Volume 1, Issue 1, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The avian eggshell is a sophisticated, multi‐functional biocomposite and, more importantly, an autonomous life‐support system evolved to safeguard embryonic development across dynamic and hostile environments. Discussing eggshell‐inspired biomaterials beyond simple structural imitation, this review translates these evolutionary survival ...

Expanding from materials to biology inspired by biomineralization

Interdisciplinary Materials
Biomineralization is the intricate process by which living organisms orchestrate the formation of organic–inorganic composites by regulating the nucleation, orientation, growth, and assembly of inorganic minerals.

Building phenotypic character matrices for phylogenetic inference: exploration of 35 years of practice

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2379-2407, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent methodological development in phylogenetic inference has focused predominantly on molecular data. However, renewed interest in other data types, particularly morphological data, has followed from the increased recognition of the power of total evidence and tip‐dating approaches, including fossil data, for inference of time‐scaled trees ...

A Multi‐Basin Calibration of Magnetofossils as a Quantitative Proxy for Bottom Water Oxygenation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Magnetofossils, produced by magnetotactic bacteria, are widespread in marine sediments and are thought to be linked to oxygen concentrations. Until recently, their applications as a quantitative proxy for bottom water oxygen (BWO) are limited due to the lack of data from modern marine environments. Here, we present a multi‐basin calibration of

Experimental investigation of calcium carbonate mineralogy in past and future oceans [PDF]

, 2011
Inorganic marine calcium carbonate formation and mineralogy varies significantly concurrent with the solution composition. During the Phanerozoic, due to oscillations in the seawater composition, this resulted in the formation of either dominantly ...
