Biomineralization of basal skeletons in recent hypercalcified sponges: a submicronic to macroscopic model

Biologically controlled mineralization implies that organisms devote a part of their physiological activity to build up a specific mineralized skeleton. A preliminary comprehensive general view of the morphology and physiology of a given organism is therefore required before trying to understand whe...
