Periodic Reporting for period 4 - 3D-BioMat (Deciphering biomineralization mechanisms through 3D explorations of mesoscale crystalline structure in calcareous biomaterials )

Biocrystallization involves complex biochemical processes where living organisms control the crystalline form of their organo-mineral components. Only considering calcium carbonate polymorphs, a variety of millimetric structures and shapes are observed. These controlled...
