Functional biominerals formed in living organisms require high control of inorganic phase crystal polymorphs, morphology, size, and orientation. Such control is often governed by both soluble and ...

When consumed in large amounts, vitamin C is partially broken down into oxalate, which can combine with calcium to form crystals, potentially leading to kidney stones. Dietary sources of vitamin C, ...

Understanding the link between obesity, fatty liver disease and kidney stones provides a new perspective on prevention and ...

Calcium oxalate nephroliths in these individuals are often attached to Randall's plaques. [9, 10] The formation or attachment of calcium oxalate crystals on these plaques is probably critical for ...

The use of molecular modifiers as crystal growth inhibitors is a common approach in crystal engineering, yet relatively few studies are devoted to designing these species as accelerants of crystal ...

Calcium Oxalate Found in many genera of plants, calcium oxalate is a water-insoluble salt that forms bundles of needlelike crystals called raphides. Contact with moisture causes plant cells to ...

Urine was able to tolerate, i.e., to avoid crystal formation, until SS ratios of approximately 10. CONCLUSIONS: Relative CaOx SS and the concentration ratio of calcium to oxalate are important ...

Currently, other ways of treatment have emerged such as oxalate solutions, which have shown significant effectiveness in reducing dentin permeability and pain. These agents precipitate calcium oxalate ...

Several potential mechanisms that may explain the effect of calcium on blood pressure have been proposed, including changes in the secretion of calcium-regulating hormones, such as PTH and parathyroid ...
