Phosphatic Biomineralization in Scyphozoa (Cnidaria): A Review

open access: yes, 2022
Phosphatic biomineralization is unknown in modern species of Scyphozoa (Cnidaria). However, some extinct groups of Scyphozoa, such as conulariids and Sphenothallus, were capable of secreting phosphatic exoskeletons.

Magnetotactic Bacteria: From Evolution to Biomineralization and Biomedical Applications

open access: yes, 2022
The synthesis of magnetosomes in magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) represents probably one of Earth’s most ancient forms of biomineralization. The evolution of magnetosomes and the origin of magnetotaxis date back to the Archean Eon, 4.4–2.5 Ga ...

Biomineralization of Carbonates Induced by Mucilaginibacter gossypii HFF1: Significant Role of Biochemical Parameters

open access: yes, 2022
Although the precipitation of carbonate minerals induced by various bacteria is widely studied, the changes in the biochemical parameters, and their significant role in the biomineralization processes, still need further exploration.

Periplasmic bacterial biomineralization of copper sulfide nanoparticles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Metal sulfides are a common group of extracellular bacterial biominerals. Only few cases of intracellular biomineralization have been reported in this group, mostly limited to greigite (Fe3S4) in magnetotactic bacteria.

Adsorption of SARS CoV-2 spike proteins on various functionalized surfaces correlates with the high transmissibility of Delta and Omicron variants

open access: yesMaterials Today Bio, 2022
The SARS-CoV-2 virus emerged at the end of 2019 and rapidly developed several mutated variants, specifically the Delta and Omicron, which demonstrate higher transmissibility and escalating infection cases worldwide.

Nucleic Acids as Emerging Regulators of Calcium Phosphate Biomineralization. [PDF]

open access: yesFASEB J
Calcium phosphate biomineralization has traditionally been considered a protein‐regulated process. This review highlights the emerging role of nucleic acids, which interact with mineral phases through adsorption, coprecipitation, and templating, thereby influencing crystal nucleation and growth.

Fungal biomineralization

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2021
Fungi are key organisms of the biosphere with major roles in organic-matter decomposition, element cycling, plant pathogenicity, and symbioses in aquatic and terrestrial habitats. The vast majority exhibit a filamentous, branching growth form and are aerobic chemoorganotrophs that derive carbon and energy from organic substances, and are particularly ...

Biomineralization in Polychaete Annelids: A Review

open access: yes, 2021
Polychaete annelids are a very important group of calcifiers in the modern oceans. They can produce calcite, aragonite, and amorphous phosphates. Serpulids possess very diverse tube ultra-structures, several unique to them. Serpulid tubes are composed of

Elevated extracellular calcium ions promote proliferation and migration of mesenchymal stem cells via increasing osteopontin expression

open access: yesExperimental and Molecular Medicine, 2018
Bone formation: released calcium could stimulate stem cells Studies with mouse cells and bone samples indicate how calcium ions released during the normal turnover of bone promote the supplementation of stem cells needed to make new bone during routine ...
