Dynamic Observation of Lacy Pattern Formation in a Bone Tissue Model Using Liquid Phase Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy

ABSTRACT Bone is a hierarchical composite in which carbonated hydroxyapatite platelets form a continuous mineral network within and between collagen fibrils. Although the nanoscale organization of mature bone is well characterized, how mineral precursors transform into this archi...

Biosynthesis and Genetic Tuning of Guanine Crystals via Metabolic Engineering of Yeast

ABSTRACT Purine crystals, such as guanine, generate diverse optical phenomena in animals and function as important nitrogen‐storage reservoirs in microalgae. Here, we demonstrate the formation of guanine crystals in Brewer's yeast. Whilst guanine crystals do not naturally contrib...
