Excerpt

Sivaguru et al. evaluated the evolution of calcium oxalate stones using geobiology [1]. They observed how calcium oxalate stones undergo multiple events of dissolution during crystallization and growth in the kidney based on super-resolution auto-fluorescence images. They concluded that their results “modify the long-held working assumption that calcium oxalate is strongly insoluble in vivo”. We disagree with this statement since their findings are nothing new under the sun. …
