Possible co-option of a VEGF-driven tubulogenesis program for biomineralization in echinoderms
2019-02-19
Abstract excerpt
Biomineralization is the process in which living organisms use minerals to form hard structures that protect and support them. Biomineralization is believed to have evolved rapidly and independently in different phyla utilizing existing components used for other purposes. The mechanistic understanding of the regulatory networks that drive biomineralization and their evolution is far from clear. The sea urchin skel...
