The term
"calcification process" refers to the natural buildup of calcium in the body or in certain tissues. It can happen to bones, teeth, or other body parts and helps make them strong and harder.
Full definition
However biologically controlled calcification reveals that simple metrics of chemical equilibriums and saturation points do not accurately demonstrate the biologically
controlled calcification process.
In particular, cold waters of the Southern Ocean show higher concentrations of CO2 and lower in CaCO3, and this reduces the availability of the carbonate required for
the calcification process.
and given the strong association between tissue injury, fibrosis, and calcification, we hypothesized that maybe it is cardiac fibroblasts [cells that give rise to scar tissue after injury] that are contributing to
the calcification process.»
«The idea made sense, because our most recent research demonstrates that zinc is important for the mineralization and
calcification processes that lead to urinary stones,» said Chi.
In order to focus on genes that share similar biological processes and correlate with
the calcification process, the analysis continued for unique up - regulated gene transcripts and total up - regulated gene transcripts that were differentially expressed during daytime (437 genes for unique and 1,333 for total), and during night - time (267 genes for unique and 1,171 for total).
The calcification process is affected by several factors: temperature, light, nutrients, food availability (Langdon & Atkinson, 2005).
Previous studies showed that the coral
calcification process has a diel rhythmic cycle of increasing rates towards midday, and then decreasing towards dusk (Gutner - Hoch et al., 2016; Schneider et al., 2009).
As well, sugar interferes with
the calcification process during bone production and renewal.
Overconsumption of nightshade vegetables or fruits can contribute to
the calcification process.
Surprisingly, they did this without altering the expression of genes thought to be involved with
the calcification process.
