Biominerals are generated by the subtle interaction of biological
organization and mineral growth. They belong both to the living and
the inanimate world and as such their genesis is among the most
intri guing and fundamental subjects in science. However, the
conceptual and technical resources that are available in physical
chemistry and in the biological sciences is often inadequate for
the elucidation of the pro blems involved, and hence this field is
particularly difficult to ex plore. This may be an important reason
why fundamental research on bio mineralization mechanisms has
traditionally been carried out by a com paratively small group of
scientists. There are signs, however, that the situation is ripe
for a change. Various meetings on biomineralization have been
organized in the last few years, particularly in the medical
sector. It is generally felt that further developments in the
therapy of bone and tooth diseases will be largely dependent on an
improved understanding of the fundamen tal underlying mechanisms of
biomineralization."
