Matrix protein-mineral interactions in avian eggshell and during calcium carbonate and calcium oxalate crystal growth in vitro
In many normal and pathologic calcified tissues, osteopontin (OPN) is a prominent protein intimately associated with biominerals. This work aims to elucidate how OPN regulates crystal growth in two biosystems: calcitic avian eggshell during growth and resorption, and in vitro calcium oxalate dihydr...
