GORDON CONFERENCE ON SALIVA AND SALIVARY GLANDS

描述：此应用程序寻求对第一个Gordon的部分支持 唾液和唾液腺研究会议将于2月23-28日举行， 1997年，加利福尼亚州文图拉。这次会议将提供一个非常需要的 多学科论坛，用于介绍和批判性讨论 唾液腺发育和分化的最新进展； 唾液腺特异性基因表达；离子运动与水通道 唾液腺；唾液腺中的钙信号；共翻译/翻译后 唾液蛋白的修饰；唾液蛋白的分类，以及 唾液腺多肽、蛋白质和蛋白质的结构/功能关系 糖蛋白。 为此，将寻求广泛的演讲者和参与者 会议，被选为代表年轻和 在这一不断发展的领域中有地位的科学家。一些演讲者 列出的都是来自美国以外的国家和地区 学科和机构，主要是非牙科。该计划的基本原理 会议的目的是让一群没有经历过 与过去互动的机会。由于戈登研究会议 被广泛认为是主要的科学会议的组织者已经能够 以吸引世界级的调查人员。 遵循传统的戈登会议风格，注册将是 限制在100-125人左右，以实现最大限度的互动。重点将是 基于新出现的数据，而不是对已发表作品的审查。除了……之外 列出的主题、海报将被征集，并将有两个海报会议 保持住。 主办方认为，现在是举办这样一场 因为最近在一些领域取得了许多进展 与唾液和唾液腺有关。这些包括：1)分子 唾液腺发育和分化的机制；2) 信号转导和离子运动，3)唾液腺特异性控制 基因表达；4)唾液生物合成和运输的调节 蛋白质；5)唾液蛋白质的结构-功能关系和 多肽。 由于目前没有为来自不同国家的科学家提供单一的论坛 学科开会并讨论他们的工作，这样的会议可以提供 一个难得的机会。预计通过 思想、系统和方法的交叉融合，在 唾液和唾液腺的研究将被催化。一个特别的目标是 加快将基础科学知识转移到 新的治疗策略的发展，以治疗本病 老龄化人口中唾液功能障碍的问题日益严重。在……里面 此外，组织者希望激发人们对这一活动的兴趣 通过积极征集青年参与一般研究领域 科学家和代表不足的少数族裔和种族成员 组。

DESCRIPTION: This application seeks partial support for the first Gordon Research Conference on Saliva and Salivary Glands to be held February 23-28, 1997, in Ventura, California. The conference will provide a much needed multi-disciplinary forum for the presentation and critical discussion of the most recent developments of salivary gland development and differentiation; salivary gland specific gene expression; ion movement and water channels in salivary glands; calcium signaling in salivary glands; co/post-translational modifications of salivary proteins; sorting of salivary proteins, and structure/function relationships of salivary gland peptides, proteins, and glycoproteins. The broad range of speakers and participants will be sought for this conference, chosen to represent a cross-section of young and well-established scientists in this growing field. A number of the speakers listed are from outside the United States and all from a variety of disciplines and institutions, mostly non dental. The rationale for the conference is to bring together a mix of scientists who have not had the opportunity to interact in the past. Since Gordon Research Conferences are widely regarded as premier scientific meetings the organizers have been able to attract world-class investigators. Following the traditional Gordon Conference style, registration will be limited to about 100-125 persons to maximize interaction. Emphasis will be on newly emerging data and not on review of published work. In addition to the listed topics, posters will be solicited and two poster sessions will be held. The organizers believe that this is a very propitious time to hold such a conference since many recent advances have been made in a number of area related to saliva and salivary glands. These include: 1) the molecular mechanisms which underlie salivary gland development and differentiation; 2) Signal transduction and ion movement, 3) control of salivary glands specific gene expression; 4) regulation of biosynthesis and trafficking of salivary proteins; 5) structural-functional relationships of salivary proteins and peptides. Since currently there is no single forum for scientists from various disciplines to meet and discussion their work, such a conference can provide an unique opportunity. It is anticipated that through the cross-fertilization of ideas, systems, and approaches, new advances in saliva and salivary gland research will be catalyzed. A particular goal is to expedite the transfer of fundamental scientific knowledge to the development of new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of the increasing problem of salivary dysfunction in an aging population. In addition, the organizers hope to stimulate increased interest in this general research area by actively soliciting the participation of young scientists and members of under-represented ethnic and racial minority groups.
