... particles have been immobilized on surfaces and arranged in defined layers. Engineered variants of CPMV can be used as templates for mineralization with, for example, silica to give monodisperse robust silica nanoparticles of ∼32 nm. SIRV2 ( Sulfolobus islandicus rod-shaped virus 2), is a robust archaeal...

... strategies, we have evidence demonstrating that HtrA1 is also a key regulator of physiological and pathological matrix mineralization in vitro . We propose that HtrA1 regulates mineralization by inhibiting TGF-β/BMP signalling and/or by cleaving specific matrix proteins, including decorin and MGP (matrix Gla...
