🦂🧪 #Scorpions incorporate #metals like #zinc and #manganese into the tips of their stingers and the edges of their pincers.
This #biomineralization process makes their #anatomy more resistant to wear and breakage during #hunting. Scientists found that the specific placement of these #minerals depends on the physical needs of different scorpion species.

Deep sea worm fights poison with poison to survive high #arsenic and sulfide levels https://phys.org/news/2025-08-deep-sea-worm-poison-survive.html
A #DeepSea worm detoxifies arsenic and sulfur by intracellular #biomineralization of orpiment (As2S3) https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.3003291
"A hydrothermal vent worm survives the high levels of arsenic and sulfide in its environment by combining them to form a less hazardous mineral... #orpiment—the same toxic, golden mineral produced by this worm—was once prized by medieval and Renaissance painters"

How does the alvinellid worm Paralvinella hessleri survive the toxic extremes of deep-sea #HydrothermalVents? A new study in #PLOSBiology shows that it detoxifies its environment by forming orpiment (As₂S₃) minerals inside epithelial cells; this unique #biomineralization reveals a novel adaptation to toxic environments.

If you were wondering how #dental #enamel resists years of damage and wear, the "enamel rods" are tightly packed, long structures composed of hydroxy(l)apatite nanowires. This highly organized pattern of enamel rods achieves exceptional durability and resistance to mechanical stress.

It's very satisfying to see the crown article of my first PhD student Bryan Shirley published! Skeleton is usually all that remains from an animal in the fossil record, so in order to find out how the animal functioned when alive, we have to squeeze out clues from the skeletal tissues, for example using advanced #ElectronMicroscopy 🔬. We were told that vertebrate tissues are too chemically unstable to study this way, but with the help of experts in microscopy, we were able to make rapid measurements of crystallography in the oldest #vertebrate hashtag#teeth to understand how they function evolved. Turns out the crystal orientation reflects the function! From the #ultrastructure we can estimate how the animals were biting and see their evolutionary adaptations at the level of individual crystals 💎 This was possible thanks to the facilities and funding by EXCITE network and Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - German Research Foundation
