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.

第八届矿化组织化学与生物学国际会议计划于2004年10月17日至22日在加拿大阿尔伯塔省班夫中心举行。骨骼、软骨和牙齿的健康对日常生活中的运动、咀嚼、呼吸、消化等活动至关重要，但这些主要骨骼和牙齿组织形成和维持的因素及其复杂的相互作用在很大程度上是未知的。事实上，在衰老和疾病过程中导致这些组织退化以及在愈合过程中修复和再生的因素也是如此。本次会议和之前的七次国际会议的目的是介绍我们对这些不完整领域的重要科学研究的最新结果，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。第八届国际会议的与会者预计将在200至250人之间，其中包括生物化学家、细胞和分子生物学家、晶体学家、结构生物学家、工程师、遗传学家、牙科和矫形学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疾病感兴趣的遗传学家；临床医生对与矿化组织相关的疾病感兴趣，如骨质疏松症，成骨和牙本质发育不全，以及牙周病。会议将在这些领域和其他领域组织最先进的演讲，并将提供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，这次会议和其前任一样，将严格考虑和尊重性别平衡、少数民族和残疾人，并将其纳入其最终计划。第八届国际会议将尽一切努力使妇女和代表性不足的少数民族作为发言者和与会者参加会议。历届国际会议的主要影响体现在以下方面：会议论文集在随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出版的原始论文越来越多；希望参加会议的新老调查人员越来越多；通过参与和互动而形成的越来越多的新合作。
