Avian eggshell biomineralization: an update on its structure, mineralogy and protein tool kit
BACKGROUND: The avian eggshell is a natural protective envelope that relies on the phenomenon of biomineralization for its formation. The shell is made of calcium carbonate in the form of calcite, which contains hundreds of proteins that interact with the mineral phase controlling its formation and...
