1. calcification

   Calcification is a biological process where calcium salts accumulate in body tissues, forming hard deposits. This can happen normally in the formation of bones and teeth, but can also occur abnormally in soft tissues, often due to disease or injury, potentially causing them to harden and disrupt their normal function.

Examples of calcification in a Sentence

1. Marie Strader:

   We intended this paper to serve as a humble blueprint for how researchers can use this technology to study the functions of coral genes, we are currently conducting experiments investigating how specific genes regulate coral skeletal formation, or calcification, for example. However, we expect this technique could be useful to identify genes involved in many other ecologically important traits such as thermal tolerance or coral bleaching.
