DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202501104
Abstract: The evolutionary significance of calcium-based minerals is highlighted by the division of life between those animals with backbones (vertebrates) and those without (invertebrates). Calcification, or biomineralization, is the process by which the tissues containing minerals… read more here.
