An alternative and effective method for extracting skeletal organic matrix adapted to the red coral Corallium rubrum

Skeleton formation in corals is a biologically controlled process in which an extracellular organic matrix (OM) is entrapped inside the calcified structure. The analysis of OM requires a time-consuming and tedious extraction that includes grinding, demineralization, multiple rinsing and concentratio...
