DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Eighth International Conference on the Chemistry and Biology of Mineralized Tissues is planned for October 17-22, 2004, to take place at the Banff Centre, Alberta, Canada. The health of bones, cartilage, and teeth is essential for the activities of normal daily life in locomotion, mastication, respiration, digestion and the like, but the factors and their complex interactions responsible for the formation and maintenance of these major skeletal and dental tissues lie largely unknown. Indeed, so, too, are the factors that contribute to the degeneration of these tissues during aging and disease and to their repair and regeneration on healing. The purpose of this Conference and the seven International Conferences that preceded it is to present the most recent results of important scientific investigations into these incomplete areas of our understanding, forecast future directions of subsequent research, and ultimately design improved methods for the diagnosis, treatment and cure of individuals with mineralized tissue-related diseases. Participants to the Eighth International Conference, anticipated to number between 200 and 250, will include biochemists, cell and molecular biologists, crystallographers, structural biologists, engineers, geneticists, dental and orthopaedic researchers, and invertebrate and plant biologists with a common interest in mineralized tissues. The Conference should attract researchers in the areas of biomimetics, biomaterials, tissue engineering, and paleontology; geneticists with interests in inherited diseases affecting mineralized tissues; and clinicians interested in diseases associated with mineralized tissues, such as osteoporosis, osteogenesis and dentinogenesis imperfecta, and periodontal disease. The meeting is organized with state-of-the-art presentations in these and other fields and will have ample time provided for discussions, breakout groups, workshops, and meals. The International Conferences have a history of convening individuals having strong scientific backgrounds and this conference, as its predecessors, will pay strict consideration and regard for gender balance, minorities, and persons with disabilities to be included in its final program. The Eighth International Conference will make every effort to bring women and under-represented minorities into the meeting as speakers and participants. The major impact of the previous International Conferences has been measured by the increasing frequency with which its Proceedings have been cited in subsequent publications, by the increasing number of original papers submitted for publication based on data and results presented at the conferences, by the increasing number of new and established investigators wishing to attend the meetings, and by the increasing number of new collaborations that are formed as a result of participation and interaction.

描述(申请人提供)：第八届矿化组织化学和生物学国际会议计划于2004年10月17日至22日在加拿大艾伯塔省班夫中心举行。骨骼、软骨和牙齿的健康对于正常日常生活中的运动、咀嚼、呼吸、消化等活动是必不可少的，但这些主要骨骼和牙齿组织的形成和维持的因素及其复杂的相互作用在很大程度上尚不清楚。事实上，这些因素也是导致这些组织在衰老和疾病期间退化的因素，以及它们在愈合时的修复和再生。本次会议和之前的七次国际会议的目的是介绍对我们认识的这些不完整领域进行的重要科学调查的最新结果，预测后续研究的未来方向，并最终设计出诊断、治疗和治愈矿化组织相关疾病的改进方法。第八届国际会议预计将有200至250人参加，与会者将包括生物化学家、细胞和分子生物学家、结晶学家、结构生物学家、工程师、遗传学家、牙科和矫形外科研究人员以及对矿化组织有共同兴趣的无脊椎动物和植物生物学家。会议应吸引仿生学、生物材料、组织工程和古生物学领域的研究人员；对影响矿化组织的遗传病感兴趣的遗传学家；以及对与矿化组织相关的疾病感兴趣的临床医生，如骨质疏松症、成骨和牙本质形成不全以及牙周病。会议由这些领域和其他领域的最先进的演示组成，并将有充足的时间进行讨论、分组讨论、研讨会和用餐。国际会议有召集具有强大科学背景的个人的历史，这次会议作为它的前身，将严格考虑和尊重性别平衡、少数民族和残疾人纳入其最终议程。第八届国际会议将尽一切努力让妇女和代表不足的少数群体作为发言者和参与者参加会议。以往各次国际会议的主要影响是，其会议记录在以后的出版物中被引用的频率越来越高，根据会议上提出的数据和结果提交供发表的原始文件越来越多，希望参加会议的新的和已有的调查人员越来越多，以及由于参与和互动而形成的新的合作越来越多。
