A Bivalve Biomineralization Toolbox [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2021 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 ...

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 ...

Avian eggshell biomineralization: an update on its structure, mineralogy and protein tool kit
BMC Molecular and Cell Biology, 2021 Background The avian eggshell is a natural protective envelope that relies on the phenomenon of biomineralization for its formation. The shell is made of calcium carbonate in the form of calcite, which contains hundreds of proteins that interact with the

Biomineralization of Collagen-Based Materials for Hard Tissue Repair
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Hydroxyapatite (HA) reinforced collagen fibrils serve as the basic building blocks of natural bone and dentin. Mineralization of collagen fibrils play an essential role in ensuring the structural and mechanical functionalities of hard tissues such as ...

Biomineralization of Enamel and Dentin Mediated by Matrix Proteins
Journal of dentistry research, 2021 Biomineralization of enamel, dentin, and bone involves the deposition of apatite mineral crystals within an organic matrix. Bone and teeth are classic examples of biomaterials with unique biomechanical properties that are crucial to their function.
