Synergistic Co‐Pyrolysis of Tannery Sludge and Oyster Shells for Enhanced Chromium Speciation Transformation and Recovery Efficiency

open access: yesCleanMat, EarlyView.
Oyster shell (OS) as a sustainable calcium source for chromium recovery from tannery sludge via co‐pyrolysis. OS outperformed CaCO3, achieving > 95% Cr recovery, attributed to its organic matrix proteins enhancing adsorption and phase conversion. The oxidation of tannery sludge Cr(III) to Cr(VI) improved recyclability, aligning with circular economy ...

Evidence from Strandings for Geomagnetic Sensitivity in Cetaceans [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
We tested the hypothesis that cetaceans use weak anomalies in the geomagnetic field as cues for orientation, navigation and/or piloting. Using the positions of 212 stranding events of live animals in the Smith sonian compilation which fall within the ...

Possible role of microtubules in vesicular transport of matrix protein during sea urchin larval biomineralization

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Biomineralization is a vital biological process through which organisms produce mineralized structures such as shells, skeletons, and teeth. Microtubules are essential for biomineralization in various eukaryotic species; however, their specific roles in this process remain unclear.

Nanoscale assembly processes revealed in the nacroprismatic transition zone of Pinna nobilis mollusc shells

open access: yes, 2015
Intricate biomineralization processes in molluscs engineer hierarchical structures with meso-, nano-, and atomic architectures that give the final composite material exceptional mechanical strength and optical iridescence on the macroscale.

Ultra‐Strong, Fire‐Resistant and Eco‐Friendly Bamboo Composites Based on Cell Wall Polymer Decoration Engineering

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Modification of bamboo cell walls using chemical in‐situ bonding was carried out, while optimizing the arrangement of bamboo fibers. Additionally, an N‐P‐B flame retardant system was formed within the bamboo material to develop an ultra‐strong flame retardant bamboo‐based composite.

Expanding from materials to biology inspired by biomineralization

open access: yesInterdisciplinary 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.

Biomaterials‐Involved Construction of Extracellular Matrices for Tumor Blockade Therapy

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
Extracellular matrices (ECMs) play a crucial role in tumor growth and metastases by providing structural support and facilitating tumor cell proliferation. In this review, we explore the development of artificial ECMs engineered through biomineralization, fibrogenesis, and gelation. These bioinspired ECMs create a protective barrier around tumor cells,

In Vitro Behavior of Boron‐Doped Baghdadite/Poly(vinylidene fluoride) Membrane Scaffolds Produced via Non‐Solvent Induced Phase Separation

open access: yesMacromolecular Bioscience, EarlyView.
Boron‐doped baghdadite (BAG)‐loaded polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane scaffolds produced by non‐solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) show higher hydrophilicity, bioactivity and cancellous‐bone‐like mechanics. The scalable BAG/PVDF composites offer a versatile alternative to traditional bone grafts for regenerative medicine. Abstract This study
