Conellae, enigmatic structures on cephalopod shells—shapes, distribution, and formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Conellae, enigmatic cone-shaped structures which can be found on the surface of internal moulds of cephalopod shells (predominantly of ammonoids), are regarded herein as the product of remote (biologically induced) biomineralization formed in closed-off ...

Off-axis electron holography of bacterial cells and magnetic nanoparticles in liquid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The mapping of electrostatic potentials and magnetic fields in liquids usingelectron holography has been considered to be unrealistic. Here, we showthat hydrated cells ofMagnetospirillum magneticumstrain AMB-1 and assem-blies of magnetic nanoparticles ...

Coordination Dynamics and Coordination Mechanism of a New Type of Anticoagulant Diethyl Citrate with Ca2+ Ions

open access: yesBioinorganic Chemistry and Applications, 2013
Diethyl citrate (Et2Cit) is a new potential anticoagulant. The coordination dynamics and coordination mechanism of Et2Cit with Ca2+ ions and the effect of pH on the complex were examined.

Effect of Indium Content on the Microstructure, Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Behavior of Titanium Alloys

open access: yesMetals, 2015
Ti-xIn (x = 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt%) alloys were prepared to investigate the effect of indium on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion behavior of titanium with the aim of understanding the relationship between phase/microstructure and

Magnetic genes: Studying the genetics of biomineralization in magnetotactic bacteria. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Many species of bacteria can manufacture materials on a finer scale than those that are synthetically made. These products are often produced within intracellular compartments that bear many hallmarks of eukaryotic organelles.

Transfer of a large gene regulatory apparatus to a new developmental address in echinoid evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Of the five echinoderm classes, only the modern sea urchins (euechinoids) generate a precociously specified embryonic micromere lineage that ingresses before gastrulation and then secretes the biomineral embryonic skeleton.

Calcium isotopic composition of high-latitude proxy carrier Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (sin.) [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Effects of Surface Structure and Chemical Composition of Binary Ti Alloys on Cell Differentiation

open access: yesMetals, 2016
Binary Ti alloys containing Fe, Mo, V and Zr were micro-arc oxidized and hydrothermally treated to obtain micro- and nano-porous layers. This study aimed to investigate cell differentiation on micro and micro/nanoporous oxide layers of Ti alloys.

Why do microbes make minerals?

open access: yesComptes Rendus. Géoscience, 2022
Prokaryotes have been shaping the surface of the Earth and impacting geochemical cycles for the past four billion years. Biomineralization, the capacity to form minerals, is a key process by which microbes interact with their environment.
