Choosing a systematic approach, from the basics to applications, the editors of Biomineralization: From Nature to Application deal with key biological features of biomineralization, such as gene directed growth and the role of enzymes.

About the Series. Metal Ions in Life Sciences links coordination chemistry and biochemistry in their widest sense and thus increases our understanding of the relationship between the chemistry of metals and life processes.

The 2nd Volume in the new Series Metal Ions in Life Sciences gives a complete overview on the role of Nickel in nature. It starts with the geochemistry and the release of Nickel in the environment. This is followed by the Nickel uptake of plants and its role in plant metabolism.

MILS-13 provides an up-to-date review on the relationships between essential metals and human diseases, covering 13 metals and 3 metalloids: The bulk metals sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, plus the trace elements manganese, iron, cobalt, copper, zinc, molybdenum, and selenium, all of which are essential for life.
