Calcium oxalate kidney stones, the most prevalent type of kidney stones, undergo a multi-
step process of crystal nucleation, growth, aggregation, and secondary transition. The …

Calcium oxalate kidney stones, the most prevalent type of kidney stones, undergo a multi-
step process of crystal nucleation, growth, aggregation, and secondary transition. The …

In this study, we investigated calcium oxalate (CaOx) kidney stones and showed direct
evidence of the solution-mediated phase transition of calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD; the …

Kidney stone disease is a serious disease due to the severe pain it causes, high morbidity,
and high recurrence rate. Notably, calcium oxalate stones are the most common type of …

Calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) crystals are the major mineral component of most
kidney stones, and thus have an important role in chronic human disease. However, the …

Urine pH has been thought to be an important factor that can modulate kidney stone
formation. Nevertheless, there was no systematic evaluation of such pH effect. Our present …

We sought to identify and quantitatively analyze calcium oxalate (CaOx) kidney stones on
the order of micrometers, with a focus on the quantitative identification of calcium oxalate …

The majority of human kidney stones are comprised of multiple calcium oxalate
monohydrate (COM) crystals encasing a calcium phosphate nucleus. The physiochemical …

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: We have previously reported that the phase transition
phenomenon of calcium oxalate (CaOx) makes urinary stones harder. Knowing phase …

Kidney stones are aggregates of microcrystals, most commonly containing calcium oxalate
monohydrate (COM) as the primary constituent. The formation of these aggregates in the …
