In recent years, the fabrication of nanomaterials and exploration of their properties have
attracted the attention of all branches of science, such as physics, chemistry, biology, and …

Introduction 3. Overview of eggshell: formation and structure 3.1. Eggshell calcification 3.2.
Eggshell microstructure and crystallographic texture 4. Regulation of calcification by matrix …

The maturation of nanotechnology has revealed it to be a unique and distinct discipline
rather than a specialization within a larger field. Its textbook cannot afford to be a chemistry …

Domestic ducks are raised for meat, eggs and feather down, and almost all varieties are
descended from the Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos). Here, we report chromosome-level high …

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 …

A set of high-quality pan-genomes would help identify important genes that are still
hidden/incomplete in bird reference genomes. In an attempt to address these issues, we …

The eggs of avian species have long been recognized as an excellent source of nutrients for
humans. In recent years, innovative research revealing the diversity of structure and function …

The biomineralization process is a mechanism inherent to all organisms of the Earth.
Throughout the decades, diverse works have reported that the origin of life is tied to crystals …

The avian embryo develops within a specialized biological container (eggshell) that
contains crucial nutritional compartments (albumen, yolk). We analyzed the transcriptome of …

The avian eggshell is a remarkable biomineral, which is essential for avian reproduction; its
properties permit embryonic development in the desiccating terrestrial environment, and …
