In Brief: This is a timely and well-written review on disorders of biomineralization and their fundamental mechanisms and by leading experts in the field. This is mandatory reading for any aspiring endocrinologist.Commentary: Biomineralization is a critical physiological process, and deviations from it can cause various diseases. Recent progress has furthered our understanding of the genetic, molecular, and cellular underpinnings of the disorders of biom...
