DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Ninth International Conference on the Chemistry and Biology of Mineralized Tissues is planned for November 4-7, 2007, at the Lakeway Inn Conference Resort in Austin, Texas. The health of bones, cartilage, and teeth is essential for the activities of normal daily life in locomotion, mineral metabolism, organ protection, respiration, mastication, and proper nutrition and digestion, 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 with healing. The purpose of this conference as with the previous eight International conferences it is to present the most recent results of important scientific investigations into these incomplete areas of our understanding, predict 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 Ninth International Conference, anticipated to number between 200 and 250, will include biochemists, cell and molecular biologists, crystallographers, structural biologists, engineers, geneticists, dental and orthopedic researchers, and invertebrate and plant biologists with a common interest in mineralized tissues. The conference will attract researchers in the areas of biomimetics, biomaterials, nanotechnology, tissue engineering, and paleontology; geneticists with interests in inherited diseases affecting mineralized tissues; and clinicians interested in diseases associated with mineralized tissues, such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, tooth remineralization, osteogenesis and dentinogenesis imperfecta, periodontal disease, and the repair/regeneration of these tissues. The meeting is organized with state-of-the-art presentations in these and other fields and will have significant time provided for discussions, breakout groups, workshops, and meals. To cultivate the next generation of scientists, junior investigators are encouraged to attend and several junior investigator awards are offered. These International Conferences have a history of attracting individuals with strong scientific backgrounds and this conference, as its predecessors, will pay strict attention and provide consideration with regards to gender balance, minorities, and persons with disabilities to be included in its final program. The Ninth 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. The meeting differs from other specialized meetings covering topics related to bone and mineral metabolism because the intent of this meeting is to draw experts from a wide spectrum of disciplines under one roof. The ensuing "cross pollenization" of perspective and expertise is the ideal venue to enhance the process of discovery in this important field.

描述（由申请人提供）：计划于2007年11月4日至7日在德克萨斯州奥斯汀的Lakeway Inn会议胜地举行第九届矿化组织化学与生物学国际会议。骨骼，软骨和牙齿的健康对于运动，矿物质代谢，器官保护，呼吸，咀嚼以及适当的营养和消化的正常日常生活至关重要，但是这些因素及其复杂的相互作用导致这些主要的骨骼和牙科组织的形成和维持。的确，在衰老和疾病期间这些组织的变性以及其修复的修复和再生的因素也是如此。与前八个国际会议一样，这次会议的目的是向我们的理解的这些不完整领域提出重要的科学研究的最新结果，预测随后的研究的未来方向，并最终设计了改进的诊断，治疗和治愈矿化组织相关疾病的人的方法。第九国际会议的参与者预计将包括200至250个国际会议，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，牙科研究人员，牙科和骨科研究人员，以及无脊椎动物和植物生物学家，在矿化组织中具有共同的兴趣。该会议将吸引研究人员在生物基础，生物材料，纳米技术，组织工程和古生物学领域的领域；对影响矿化组织的遗传疾病感兴趣的遗传学家；和对与矿化组织相关的疾病感兴趣的临床医生，例如骨关节炎，骨质疏松症，牙齿回想矿化，成骨和牙本质发生不完美，牙周疾病以及这些组织的修复/再生。这次会议是在这些领域和其他领域的最新演讲中组织的，将有大量时间进行讨论，分组组，研讨会和餐点。为了培养下一代科学家，鼓励初级调查人员参加，并提供了几项初级调查员奖。这些国际会议有吸引具有强大科学背景的个人的历史，因为它的前任将严格关注，并就性别平衡，少数群体和残疾人的审议提供了考虑，将其包括在其最终计划中。第九届国际会议将尽一切努力将妇女和代表的少数群体带入会议，以演讲者和参与者的身份参加会议。以前的国际会议的主要影响是通过在随后的出版物中引用了其程序的日益频率来衡量的，这是根据在会议上提出的数据和结果提交的原始论文数量的越来越多，通过希望参加会议的新的和既定的调查人员的数量，以及参与新的合作数量的新作品，并逐步参与了新的合作，并获得了新的合作。会议与其他专业会议不同，涵盖了与骨骼和矿物质代谢有关的主题，因为这次会议的目的是吸引专家从一个屋顶下的各种学科中吸引专家。随之而来的观点和专业知识的“交叉粉化”是增强这一重要领域发现过程的理想场所。
