A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of bone over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Bone is the hard skeletal connective tissue consisting of both mineral and cellular components. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of bone mineralization. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of bone mineralization. The formation of bone or of a bony substance, or the conversion of fibrous tissue or of cartilage into bone or a bony substance. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a tissue over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The deposition of calcium phosphate in bone tissue. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of bone mineralization. Formation of hard tissues that consist mainly of inorganic compounds, and also contain a small amounts of organic matrices that are believed to play important roles in their formation.
