真核细胞和微生物病原体：一对熟悉的夫妇占据中心舞台

微生物病原体与其宿主的相互作用是一个由进化形成的高度动态过程。了解细胞对微生物产物的反应对于全面了解毒力至关重要。类似地，旨在确定特定毒力因子如何发挥作用的研究有助于解开控制真核细胞事件的分子机制。这两个看似不同的领域在最近由欧洲研究会议（EURESCO）和欧洲分子生物学组织（EMBO）主办的一次会议（2002年10月13日至17日）上聚集在美丽的西班牙海岸布拉瓦。
The interaction of a microbial pathogen with its host is a highly dynamic process shaped by evolution. Understanding cellular responses to microbial products is essential for a complete understanding of virulence. Similarly, studies aimed at determining how a particular virulence factor functions have helped unravel molecular mechanisms that govern eukaryotic cellular events. These two seemingly diverse areas were brought together on the beautiful Spanish Costa Brava in a recent meeting (October 13–17, 2002) sponsored by European Research Conferences (EURESCO) and the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO).
