Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) represents histological bone changes in patients with chronic kidney disease and is classified according to turnover and mineralization. This cross-sectional study evaluates several bone biomarkers and their ability to discriminate turnover and mineralization defects in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Bone-specific [BSAP] and...

Members of Bacillus species are able to enhance the level of available phosphorus (P) for plant absorption through mechanisms of P solubilization and mineralization. In our study, B. subtilis PE7 showed P-solubilizing activity in simple phosphate broth (SPB) medium, and acetic acid, iso-butyric acid, and iso-valeric acid were major organic acids re...

Frequent soil drying and wetting cycles significantly affect the mineralization processes of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (STN), impacting soil quality and contributing to nutrient loss. However, the effects of these dry–wet cycles on SOC and STN mineralization in dam soil are not well understood. This study simulated four consecuti...

Uranium mineralization related to Na-metasomatism is known as Na-metasomatite or albitite-type. They represent the fourth-largest uranium resource globally and constitute fifty thousand tons of U resources. The present work gives details about well-known Na-metasomatic uranium occurrences worldwide in terms of structures, metasomatic stages, geoche...

Bone tissue engineering (BTE) has long sought to elucidate the key factors controlling human/humanized bone formation for regenerative medicine and disease modeling applications, yet with no definitive answers due to the high number and co-dependency of parameters. This study aims to clarify the relative impacts of in vitro biomimetic ‘preculture c...

Pollution in ecosystems has increased, especially in water, due to the pollutant agents that alter their chemical, physical and biological characteristics. This requires actions to resolve or at least reduce the harmful effects generated on the environment and people’s health. Many of the contaminants present in water come from the industrial secto...

Polyethylene mulching film, which is widely utilized in arid and semi-arid agriculture, leaves residual pollution. A novel approach to addressing this issue is microbial degradation. To screen the strains that degrade polyethylene efficiently and clarify the effect of degrading strains on the turnover of soil organic carbon, a polyethylene-degradin...

The complex environmental conditions at Cr-contaminated sites, characterized by uneven ion distribution, oxidants competition, and limited solid-phase mobility, lead to inadequate mixing of Fe-based reducing agents with Cr, posing significant challenges to the effectiveness of Cr remediation through Cr-spinel precipitation. This study investigates ...

Carbonate rocks are highly reactive and exhibit higher ratios of chemical weathering compared to most other rock types. A chemo-mechanical mechanism, which is particularly effective in groundwater due to higher ion concentrations, is common in fine-grained carbonates at the nanoscale. As a result, the weathering of carbonate aquifers produces a sub...

Periarticular calcifications are a common condition for rheumatologists. They are characterized by deposition of carbonated apatite in tendons or connective tissues around joints. It most commonly affects patients between 30 and 60, and the main location is the shoulder (rotator cuff tendons), followed by the hip. Although the disease is frequent, ...
