Calcified Tissues 1975 : Proceedings of the XIth European Symposium on Calcified Tissues (Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1976. 1976. 493 S. 108 SW-Ab)

The Xlth European Symposium on Calcified Tissues was held at Hotel Marienlyst, Elsinore, Denmark, May 25-29,1975. The main topics were: 1. cellular calcium transport, 2. vitamin D, and 3. osteoporosis. Seventy six of the submitted papers were selected for verbal presentation, and these papers are the basis of the articles found in this book. We hope that the book, which also appears as a supplement to CALCIFIED TISSUE RESEARCH has a form which will be adopted by organizers of future symposia of this series. The Organizing Committee wishes to express its gratitude to the Danish Medical Research Council (Statens Lregevidenskabelige Forskningsrad), to Tuborgfondet, and to Danish and foreign industry for their generaus financial support, without which the symposium would not have been held and without which the proceedings would not have appeared. Also, we wish to thank our secretarial staff, in particular Mrs. Karin Christensen for skilled and keen assistance before, during and after the symposium. We hope that the contents of the book confirm the view that the XI th European Symposium on Calcified Tissues, having an interdisciplinary character was important for future research in the field and for the treatment of patients with metabolic bone disease.
