An interdisciplinary collaboration 10 years in the making used a materials science approach to “fingerprint” the calcium mineral deposits known as microcalcifications that reveal pathological clues to the progression of breast cancer and potentially other diseases. The group’s paper, “Biomineralogical Signatures of Breast Microcalcifications,” published in Science Advances. The lead author is postdoctoral researcher Jennie Kunitake, Ph.D....
