Interactions of macromolecules with growing crystalline surfaces play an important role in
biomineralization, determine survival of some organisms at low temperatures, and offer a …

Inhalation of silica particles can induce inflammatory lung reactions that lead to silicosis
and/or lung cancer when the particles are biopersistent. This toxic activity of silica dusts is …

Autoantibodies to glycans present on glycolipids mediate the postinfectious paralytic
disease, Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS). These glycans are also found on lipo …

Breast cancer frequently metastasizes to bone, where it leads to secondary tumor growth,
osteolytic bone degradation, and poor clinical prognosis. Hydroxyapatite Ca 10 (PO 4) 6 …

Inhaled crystalline silica causes inflammatory lung diseases, but the mechanism for its
unique activity compared to other oxides remains unclear, preventing the development of …

The formation of atherosclerotic plaques in the blood vessel walls is the result of LDL
particle uptake, and consequently of cholesterol accumulation in macrophage cells. Excess …

The mechanism of formation of haemozoin, a detoxification by-product of several blood-
feeding organisms including malaria parasites, has been a subject of debate; however …

Colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis plays a crucial role in disease progression, yet the
