The present study, based on the know-how and the experience from previous studies by the same research team, aims to the mineral differentiation in both kidney stones and atherosclerotic plaques. The initial simulation results are encouraging. We believe that the results of the experiments, which are about to begin, will lead to the mineral differentiation.
