Recent Advances of Shell Matrix Proteins and Cellular Orchestration in Marine Molluscan Shell Biomineralization
Biomineralization refers to the dynamic physiological processes whereby living organisms elaborate mineralized tissues. The existence of extremely abundant molluscan species shows the diversity of mineralized tissues, since the majority of them (Conchifera) produce shells that vary in size and shape...
