Chitin and collagen as universal and alternative templates in biomineralization (2010, background): “The building of discrete or extended organic architectures in biomineralization often involves hierarchical processing in which the molecular-based organic assemblies are used to provide frameworks and determine the organization of inorganic materials, which in turn are exploited as prefabricated un”
