Volume 4 focuses on the vibrant research area centering around
"Biomineralization" and its role in Nature and in biomimetic
applications. With nearly 2700 references, 14 tables, and more than
140 illustrations, it is an essential resource for scientists
working in the wide range from material sciences and inorganic
biochemistry all the way through to medicine including the clinic.
In 18 stimulating chapters, written by 36 internationally
recognized experts, "Biomineralization. From Nature to Application"
highlights critically the interrelations between crystals and life.
The volume covers the role of genes and genomes as well as enzymes
on biomineralization processes; carbonate, sulfate, oxalate, and
silicate biominerals; heavy metals, ferritin, and magnetotactic
bacteria; the formation of bone, dentin, enamel, etc; the dynamics
of biomineralization and biodemineralization; the mechanical design
and bioinspired growth of mineralized tissues; and
polymer-controlled biomimetic mineralizations for diverse
applications.
