Nature uses extracellular matrix scaffolds to organize biominerals into hierarchical structures
over various length scales. This has inspired the design of biomimetic mineralization …

Apical extracellular matrices (aECMs) are the extracellular layers on the apical sides of
epithelia. aECMs form the outer layer of the skin in most animals and line the luminal surface …

Otolin-1 is a scaffold protein of otoliths and otoconia, calcium carbonate biominerals from the
inner ear. It contains a gC1q domain responsible for trimerization and binding of Ca2+ …

In proteins, phosphorylation of amino acid residues confers unique functions, including
mineral-binding properties. For example, osteopontin, an abundant phosphoprotein in many …

The retrosplenial cortex is essential for spatial memory and navigation. We sought to learn
about how the retrosplenial cortex encodes information through oscillations. Our experiment …
