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（由申请人提供）：计划于2004年10月17日至22日在加拿大艾伯塔省的班夫中心举行，举行了第八届矿化组织化学和生物学国际会议。骨骼，软骨和牙齿的健康对于运动，咀嚼，呼吸，消化等正常日常生活的活性至关重要，但是这些因素及其复杂相互作用导致这些主要的骨骼和牙科组织的形成和维护很大程度上是未知的。实际上，也是如此，在衰老和疾病期间这些组织的变性以及它们的修复和再生治愈时的因素也是如此。本次会议的目的以及在我们理解的这些不完整领域的重要科学研究之前的七个国际会议，预测后续研究的未来方向以及最终设计的改进方法，以改进诊断，治疗和治愈矿物质相关疾病的人。第八届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，牙科和骨科研究人员，以及无脊椎动物和植物生物学家，以及在矿化组织中具有共同兴趣的植物生物学家。该会议应吸引研究人员在遗传学，生物材料，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，例如骨质疏松症，骨生成和牙齿发生不完美症和牙周疾病。会议是在这些领域和其他领域的最新演讲中组织的，将有足够的时间进行讨论，分组小组，研讨会和餐点。国际会议有一个召集具有强大科学背景的个人的历史，作为其前任的会议将严格考虑，并对性别平衡，少数群体和残疾人的重视，并将其纳入其最终计划。第八届国际会议将尽一切努力将女性和代表性不足的少数民族作为演讲者和参与者带入会议。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。
