内容説明
The current status of biomineralization research not only in the areas of medical and dental sciences, but also in biology, paleontology, mineralogy, oceanography, chemistry, and crystallography as presented at the 6th International Symposium on Biomineralization held in Odawara, Japan, on October 8-12, 1990, is discussed in this volume. Contributions cover such research areas as the origin and evolution of biomineralization, mechanisms of mineralization, interactions between cells, organic matrix and minerals, trace element accumulation in highly mineralized tissues, and the interaction between biomineralization and geological and oceanographical environment.

内容説明
Various kinds of mineralization have been found in many biological systems. Investigations made at a microscopical level using various sophisticated analytical methods and using principles developed in different fields have clarified their mechanisms very much. Sometimes, very similar phenomena have been found in the mineralized tissues of completely different biological systems. Compilation and comparative investigations of such findings obtained from the many specimens systematically collected contribute a great deal to an understanding of the crucial mechanisms and significance of biominerali zation which originated in very primitive organisms and remain in advanced ones. Previously, the functional significance of mineralized tissues was considered mainly from an anatomical point of view based upon their morphological and structural features. However, the recent advance of investigations has made it possible to interpret the func tional significance of biomineralization not only from local and mechanical points of view, but also from a systemic and phylogenetic point of view. It is also well-known that biomineralization has contributed in various ways to geological and oceanographical conditions of the environment in which the organisms were living. During this process, the mechanisms of biomineralization may have evolved to maintain harmony between organisms and their environments."
