A Critical Survey of Biomineralization Control, Mechanisms, Functions and Material Properties /
This monograph provides a comprehensive and up-to-date approach on biomineralization. The topical focus of the book lies on the question of how matrix proteins and cells catalyze and regulate mineralization in organisms. Recent advances in the understanding of biomineralization help to better unders...
