Comparative investigations of mineralization and demineralization mechanisms by leading researchers give a general perspective on this interdisciplinary field of the life sciences and an introduction to current research methods and concepts. The studies are concentrated in the areas of calcium phosphate mineral formation in vertebrate bone and teeth and calcium carbonate mineral formation in coral skeletons and molluscan shells.

Towards an Understanding of Tissue-Specific Biomineralization.- Fluoride and Iron Concentrations in the Teeth of Primitive Bony Fishes (Osteichthyes).- Fish Tooth Formation: An Assessment of Biological Factors Affecting the Fluoride Content of Enameloid.- Amelogenin Hydrolysis in Isolated Enamel.- Enamel Formation During Porcine Amelogenesis.- Recent Observations on the Formation of Carbonatoapatite In Vivo.- Specific Physicochemical Properties of Fluoridated Hydroxyapatites with Incorporated Trace Elements.- The Effect of Fluoride on Enamel De- and Remineralization.- Calcification in Octocorals.- Involvement of Mammalian Insulin and Insulin-like Peptides in Shell Growth and Shell Regeneration in Molluscs.- Phosphoproteins of Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) Shell Organic Matrix.
