Solubility phenomena related to normal and pathological biomineralization processes / Erich Königsberger and LanChi Königsberger -- Mechanisms of renal and salivary calculi formation and development / Félix Grases and Antonia Costa-Bauzá -- Calcium and magnesium phosphates : normal and pathological mineralization / Clara F. Magalhães, Paula A.A.P. Marques, and Rui N. Correia -- Relevance of a polymer-induced liquid-precursor (PILP) mineralization process to normal and pathological biomineralization / Fairland F.

| Summary |
This title takes an interdisciplinary approach to the central role of solubility in pathological biomineralisation, ranging from traditional thermodynamics and kinetics to unusual concepts such as the PILP process or lessons learned from industrial processes |
