CCK 1993: International Symposium to be held on Cape Cod near Boston.

这一行动是为了提供旅行奖学金和参与者 资助美国青年科学家参加1993年 缩胆囊素国际研讨会 发生在大脑和肠道。 这次会议将于 1993年5月19日至22日，在马萨诸塞州的科德角。 新突破 这个迅速发展的领域使1993年的研讨会非常及时 传播信息和促进 跨学科合作。 此外，本次研讨会 提供了一个论坛， 来自世界各地的调查人员和年轻的美国人 科学家 这些令人兴奋的进展，包括阐明 CCK受体的结构和新的非- CCK受体特异性肽激动剂和拮抗剂 亚型将在最先进的讲座中讨论。的 会议的主题包括生物化学和分子生物学。 CCK及其受体的生物学、CCK的药理学及其 拮抗剂;以及神经生理学和胃肠道 CCK生理学 此外，CCK作用的当前问题 在饱腹感和疾病中的作用也将被广泛探讨。 这些 而其他的进步肯定会带来更好的 对胆囊收缩素在胃肠道疾病中重要作用的认识 生理学和中枢神经系统功能。

This action is to provide travel fellowships and participant support costs for young American scientists to attend the 1993 International Symposium on cholecystokinin, (CCK) a peptide occurring in the brain and intestine. This meeting is to be held May 19-22, 1993 on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. New breakthroughs in this rapidly advancing area make this 1993 symposium very timely for dissemination of information and the fostering of interdisciplinary collaborations. Moreover, this symposium provides a forum for interactions of some of the most outstanding investigators from throughout the world with young American scientists. These exciting advances including the elucidation of the structure of the CCK receptor and the development of new non- peptide agonists and antagonist specific for CCK receptor subtypes will be addressed in the state-of-the-art lectures. The topics of the session include the biochemistry and molecular biology of CCK and its receptors; the pharmacology of CCK and its antagonists; and the neurophysiology and gastrointestinal physiology of CCK. Moreover, current issues on the role of CCK in satiety and disease will also be extensively explored. These and other advances will most certainly lead to a better understanding of the important role of CCK in gastrointestinal physiology and in central nervous system function.
