• Mineral skeletogenesis in sponges (2006, background): “This complex arrangement has been considered an example of mechanical engineering because the seven hierarchical levels represent major fundamental construction strategies (Aizenberg et al. 2005).”
• Micromechanical properties of biological silica in skeletons of deep-sea sponges (2006, background): “This complex biomineralized structure was recently found to be structured over at least six levels of hierarchy.(5) At the micrometer scale, there is an arrangement of silica layers around a proteinaceous axial filament.”
