Biomineralization is the process by which living organisms produce minerals. Biomineralization processes often lead to the hardening or stiffening of the mineralized materials. This includes the ...

Physical and chemical mechanisms guiding biomineralization in vascular and bone-related cell types and tissues Biomimetic materials Cell and tissue mechanics The host response to implantable materials ...

Dr. Templeton is a Geomicrobiologist with a special focus on microbe-mineral interactions. At the University of Colorado, Alexis Templeton has established field and laboratory based studies of ...

Nanotechnology plays a transformative role across industries, enhancing manufacturing precision, advancing regenerative ...

Bions represent a new type of biological NPs that act as mineral precursors in both physiological and pathological biomineralization. Bions may contribute to various disease and degenerative ...

In nature, organisms can form organic-inorganic composite materials with complex structures and excellent biological properties through biomineralization, such as bones, teeth, and shells. These ...

For example, proteins form complexes, while accumulation of minerals templated by organic extracellular matrix may lead to ...

We are interested in what these algal extracellular matrices can tell us about: 1) the evolution of the land plant cell wall, 2) the unique characteristics that allow for life in aquatic habitats, 3) ...

[Justin] adds a new contribution to the mix, and that comes in the form of biomineralization, which we see in things like nacre (mother of pearl), chitin, and bones. This is one of the sturdiest ...
