Biomineralization Biomineralization is the process by which living organisms produce minerals, often to harden or stiffen existing tissues. Such tissues are called mineralized tissues.

The terminal residues α6 to α11 interact with subunit β and with subunits α and β of the adjacent dimer. This study on the cage-like molybdenum storage protein (MoSto) provides detailed insight into ...

This biomineralization strategy has strong potential for applications in corrosive environments, such as marine environments, sewage environments, and water cooling utilities, where concrete ...

Magnetosome biomineralization can be divided into five steps each that involve a series of genes/proteins. (a) Magnetosome membrane formation. (b) Protein recruitment onto the magnetosome membrane.

Simulations aim to unlock nature's process of biomineralization Date: December 11, 2010 Source: Ohio Supercomputer Center Summary: Researchers are leveraging advanced modeling and simulation ...

The genome of the reef-building glass sponge Aphrocallistes vastus provides insights into silica biomineralization. Royal Society Open Science, 2023; 10 (6) DOI: 10.1098/rsos.230423 ...

The research, titled “ Biomineralization to prevent microbially induced corrosion on concrete for sustainable marine infrastructure ” was published in Environmental Science & Technology. The study ...

Prof. LI said, “The biomineralization technique serves as an environmentally friendly coating method for controlling concrete corrosion, with minimal impact on the overall biofilm communities. Also, ...

There is "enormous interest" in the subject, known as biomineralization, Nancollas says. The importance of his research is evidenced by the fact that one of his research grants, "The Mineralization of ...

The researchers also studied the formation of mineralization nodules and assessed the effect of CBD in modulating the synthesis of inflammatory mediators by macrophages. Ultimately, they found that ...
