DOI: 10.1016/j.dci.2018.03.009
Abstract: &NA; Dopamine (DA), a significant member of catecholamines, is reported to induce biomineralization of calcium carbonate vaterite microspheres via dopamine receptor (DR) in bivalves, implying the modulation of dopaminergic system on shell formation during larval… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2021.151514
Abstract: Abstract Heavy metal exposure from anthropogenic pollutants negatively affects many marine organisms, including foraminiferan protists. As such, foraminifera are often used as bioindicators of stressed environmental conditions. Primary research has commonly focused on how heavy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msy172
Abstract: Abstract Molluscan shells, mainly composed of calcium carbonate, also contain organic components such as proteins and polysaccharides. Shell organic matrices construct frameworks of shell structures and regulate crystallization processes during shell formation. To date, a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12864-018-4519-y
Abstract: BackgroundDespite recent work to characterize gene expression changes associated with larval development in oysters, the mechanism by which the larval shell is first formed is still largely unknown. In Crassostrea gigas, this shell forms within… read more here.
