Looking for numbers on community #calcification rate. It seems the literature has only two options "#reef" (shallow, corals) or "#plankton"...
Temperate reefs? #Mesophotic reefs? Calcareous algae meadows? #Seagrass epiphytes? Sorry, nothing for you.

#Artery #calcification, or atherosclerosis as it is also known, involves #fatty deposits accumulating on the inside of the #arteries, making it harder for #blood to pass through.

#ClimateCrisis: #OceanAcidification in the #Mediterranean is already affecting the #calcification of marine #plankton https://phys.org/news/2023-11-ocean-acidification-mediterranean-affecting-calcification.html paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-023-00947-7

"#Foraminifera #protists... build a shell, several hundred micrometers in size, which is made of #CalciumCarbonate... these #calcite structures are highly sensitive to changes in seawater #chemistry... This is reflected in an accelerated decrease in shell weight during the 20th century."

New pathway of #diatom-mediated #calcification and its impact on the biological pump.

After a hiatus for #ReC2301, back to #WeekendReading: Pallacks et al. on how acidification in the western #Mediterranean impacts biogenic #calcification (as usual, things are more complicated in the eastern basin - I should get around to work on that).

Excellent editorial on the potential role of #magnesium in vascular #calcification in #CKD.

Nicely explains why measuring serum levels of magnesium is not sufficient and which hardships exist in estimating total magnesium levels.

Here's a transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image of #bone showing mineralized #collagen and an #osteocyte lacuna containing microcalcifications of #apatite and #whitlockite.

Such #calcification or #mineral formation is part of normal physiological processes such as #apoptosis but can also indicate #pathology.

The specimen was prepared using focussed ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM).
