前两届神经移植国际研讨会 1985年，第一次在瑞典的隆德附近举行，第二次在纽约的罗切斯特举行。 1987年的约克。 请拨经费用于下列活动的旅费和相关费用： 美国参加将在剑桥举行的第三次专题讨论会， 英国，1989年8月6日至11日。 虽然第一次会议第一次聚集在一起， 研究人员参与移植研究，第二个重点是 特别是关于植入物在神经变性疾病中的应用 也是一个 实质性的承诺，检查肾上腺髓质移植物是否可能 为帕金森病提供了一种合适的治疗方法。 第三次会议将有几个任务。它将审查临床 中求进工作总 它将研究进一步开发合适的动物 针对特定疾病的模型。最重要的是，它将专门 注意使用植入物以了解基本机制 与神经过程的发育和再生生长有关。 最重要的将是考虑到最近的进展，在细胞和 分子生物学（包括使用转化细胞作为替代 胎儿组织的使用）和神经免疫学。 会议的安排将确保最大限度的讨论时间， 组委会认为，在这个快速发展的 领域

Two previous International Symposia on Neural Transplantation have been held, the first near Lund, Sweden in 1985 and the second in Rochester, New York in 1987. Funds are requested for travel and associated expenses for U.S. participants to attend a third symposium to be held in Cambridge, England, August 6-11, 1989. While the first meeting brought together for the first time those investigators involved in transplantation research, the second focused particularly on the application of implants to neurodegenerative diseases and was the springboard for a substantial commitment to examining whether adrenal medulla grafts might provide a suitable therapy for Parkinson's disease. The third meeting will have several missions. It will review clinical progress. It will examine the further development of suitable animal models for particular diseases. Most important, it will devote particular attention to the use of implants to understand fundamental mechanisms associated with development and regenerative growth of neural processes. Most important will be a consideration of the recent advances in cell and molecular biology (including the use of transformed cells as an alternative to the use of fetal tissue) and in neuroimmunology. The meeting will be structured to ensure a maximum of discussion time, a feature the organizing committee feels is necessary in this fast-growing field.
