Mechanisms of osteopontin-stabilized amorphous calcium phosphate calcification in benign and pre-malignant breast disease [PDF]
Mammographic calcifications are sentinel markers of ductal carcinoma in-situ (DCIS) with or without associated invasive breast cancer (IBC) but also occur in benign breast disease (BBD).

Osteopontin stabilization and collagen containment slows amorphous calcium phosphate transformation during human aortic valve leaflet calcification [PDF]
Calcification of aortic valve leaflets is a growing mortality threat for the 18 million human lives claimed globally each year by heart disease. Extensive research has focused on the cellular and molecular pathophysiology associated with calcification ...

Combined effects of depositional and diagenetic processes on the distribution of rock types in the Lucia petrophysical classification system: A case study of the Dalan and Kangan formations [PDF]
Upper Dalan and Kangan carbonate formations with Late Permian–Early Triassic ages are considered the main gas reservoir rocks in some Persian Gulf fields.

Neoproterozoic banded iron formations (BIF) and ironstones occur in the Urucum mining district (Pantanal, Brazil). Microbially mediated formation as microbialites has been proposed for these deposits.

Silica diagenesis promotes early primary hydrocarbon migration
We present evidence that hydrocarbon source rocks can be preconditioned for primary hydrocarbon migration at an early stage of catagenesis by pore-scale processes linked to silica diagenesis.

Ferromanganese nodules and micro-hardgrounds associated with the Cadiz Contourite Channel (NE Atlantic): Palaeoenvironmental records of fluid venting and bottom currents [PDF]
Ferromanganese nodule fields and hardgrounds have recently been discovered in the Cadiz Contourite Channel in the Gulf of Cadiz (850–1000 m). This channel is part of a large contourite depositional system generated by the Mediterranean Outflow Water ...

An assessment of bottom current controlled sedimentation in Pacific Ocean abyssal environments [PDF]
The effect of the circulation of polar-sourced dense waters on the deep seafloor is still largely unknown. This paper presents multibeam bathymetric evidence for the existence of present-day contourite drifts on the central Pacific ocean at depths ...
