Biological niches within human calcified aortic valves. Towards understanding of the pathological biomineralization process [PDF]
, 2015 Despite recent advances, mineralization site, its microarchitecture, and composition in calcific heart valve remain poorly understood. A multiscale investigation, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and ...

Evolution and diversity of alpha-carbonic anhydrases in the mantle of the Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) [PDF]
, 2019 The α-carbonic anhydrases (α-CAs) are a large and ancient group of metazoan-specific enzymes. They generate bicarbonate from metabolic carbon dioxide and through calcium carbonate crystal formation play a key role in the regulation of mineralized ...

Location and chemical composition of microbially induced phosphorus precipitates in anaerobic and aerobic granular sludge [PDF]
, 2012 This work focuses on combined scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDX) applied to granular sludge used for biological treatment of high-strength wastewater effluents. Mineral precipitation is shown to occur in the core

Marine bivalve geochemistry and shell ultrastructure from modern low pH environments [PDF]
, 2011 . Bivalve shells can provide excellent archives of past environmental change but have not been used to interpret ocean acidification events. We investigated carbon, oxygen and trace element records from different shell layers in the mussels Mytilus ...

Calcium isotopic composition of high-latitude proxy carrier Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (sin.) [PDF]
, 2009 The accurate reconstruction of sea surface temperature (SST) history in climate-sensitive regions (e.g. tropical and polar oceans) became a challenging task in palaeoceanographic research.

Coralline algae in a naturally acidified ecosystem persist by maintaining control of skeletal mineralogy and size [PDF]
, 2016 To understand the effects of ocean acidification (OA) on marine calcifiers, the trade-offs among different sublethal responses within individual species and the emergent effects of these trade-offs must be determined in an ecosystem setting.

A secretory kinase complex regulates extracellular protein phosphorylation. [PDF]
, 2015 Although numerous extracellular phosphoproteins have been identified, the protein kinases within the secretory pathway have only recently been discovered, and their regulation is virtually unexplored.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Aged human bmMSCs are seeded in the scaffold. Osteoblastic induction can slightly increase cell's bone‐forming activity to produce bone‐like tissues, shown as the sporadic xylenol orange‐stained spots (the lower left image). Notably, pioglitazone plus EGCG co‐treatment dramatically increases cell's bone‐forming activity and bone‐like tissue production (
