DOI: 10.1002/pmic.201800194 Limpets are marine mollusks that use mineralized teeth, one of the hardest and strongest biomaterials, to feed on algae on intertidal rocks. In article number 1800194 , Wang et al. study the microstructure and the proteomics of the limpet teeth to better understand how the hard iron based minerals are formed.
