Journal ArticleDOI
Avian eggshell mineralization: biochemical and functional characterization of matrix proteins
TL;DR: Nys et al. as discussed by the authors studied the relationship between eggshell texture and mechanical properties, and showed that the changes in uterine fluid constituents with stages of egg calcification, their effects on morphology of calcite grown in vitro, and their relationship between the egg shell texture and its mechanical properties point to this control of eggshell fabric.
Journal ArticleDOI
The eggshell: structure, composition and mineralization
Maxwell T. Hincke,Yves Nys,Joël Gautron,Karlheinz Mann,Alejandro B. Rodríguez-Navarro,Marc D. McKee +5 more
TL;DR: Eggshell microstructure and ultrastructure is reviewed, and the results of recent genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of the chicken eggshell matrix are reviewed to draw attention to areas of current uncertainty such as the potential role of amorphous calcium carbonate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and localization of lysozyme as a component of eggshell membranes and eggshell matrix.
TL;DR: The role of lysozyme proteins during shell formation is poorly understood as mentioned in this paper, however, the role of these avian eggshell matrix proteins during the formation of the shell is well understood.
