Can the study of bones and seashells shed light on breast cancer research?

An interdisciplinary project is looking at calcium mineral deposits (called microcalcifications) associated with breast cancer and using materials science approaches to “fingerprint” the calcifications to look for clues about their pathology. They found that pathological breast calcification signatures reflect the tumor microenvironment and correlate with cancer severity.
