   Evolution and diversity of biomineralized columnar architecture in early Cambrian phosphatic-shelled brachiopods

   Zhiliang Zhang, Zhifei Zhang ... Guoxiang Li

   Columnar architectures, developed in early Cambrian phosphatic-shelled brachiopods, are highly biologically controlled and organic-matrix mediated, which sheds new light on the evolution and adaptation of biomineralization during the Cambrian explosion.

   ROCK and the actomyosin network control biomineral growth and morphology during sea urchin skeletogenesis

   Eman Hijaze, Tsvia Gildor ... Smadar Ben-Tabou de-Leon

   ROCK and the actomyosin network are essential for multiple aspects of sea urchin skeletogenesis, suggesting an independent deployment of these factors in biomineralization across Eukaryotes.
