Featuring an international team of renowned authors who provide first-hand research results, this third volume of Handbook of Biomineralization deals with biomineralization in medicine, paying closer attention to bones, teeth, and pathological calcifications. Combining all the modern and interdisciplinary aspects of biomineralization, this first comprehensive overview of this burgeoningfield is a must-have account for biochemists, bioinorganic chemists, lecturers in chemistry and biochemistry, materials scientists, biologists, and solid-state physicists.
