Microbes inside fish guts may be quietly shaping the chemistry of the world’s oceans
Bacteria living inside the intestines of marine fish are directly involved in producing calcium carbonate minerals that, once ...
How do living organisms produce minerals -- for example, for their shells? Researchers have come a step closer to answering this question. In a joint study, they have deciphered the formation ...
Many organisms can produce minerals or mineralized tissue. A well-known example is nacre, which is used in jewelry because of its iridescent colors. Chemically speaking, its formation begins with a ...
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the pathological deposition of bone in non-skeletal sites, which can occur following high-energy trauma, nervous system injury, burns, skeletal surgery, and hereditary ...
What links sea urchins, limestone and climate change? The common thread is calcium carbonate, one of the most widespread minerals on Earth. UC Davis researchers have now measured the energy changes ...
