Bone is the most widespread mineralized tissue in vertebrates, and its formation represents a major leap in vertebrate evolution.
Hypusine formation represents one of the most specific polyamine-dependent biochemical reactions.
The Castillo Formation represents permanent single-channel rivers with channel-margin bars.
Biofilm formation represents a prominent one among those adopted strategies, by which food-borne pathogens protect themselves against external threats.
The Bachende Formation represents a delta-top carbonate platform developed in highly subsiding (average subsidence rate of 254 m/My) distal shelf areas of the basin.
Local delivery of therapeutic angiogenic agents that stimulate blood vessel formation represents a promising strategy for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease (PVD).
Pharmaceutical co-crystal formation represents a straightforward way to dramatically influence the solid-state properties of a drug substance, particularly its solubility and hence bioavailability.
The lead author on the study, David Button of the University of Bristol, said: "The Morrison Formation represents a particularly interesting case in Earth's history as it presents a staggering diversity of sauropods, but yet was a seasonally semi-arid environment not conducive to excessive plant productivity.
The Galula Formation represents a 600-3000 m thick sequence of amalgamated, braided fluvial deposits that were deposited across a large braidplain system via multiple parallel channels that had their source in the highlands of Malawi and Zambia.
Many studies report the benefits associated with biofilms as industrial methods for food production and for wastewater treatment, since the formation represents a protective means of microbial growth offering survival advantages to cells in toxic environments.
