CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEMS TRANSPLANTATION

之前的两届神经移植国际研讨会都是 第一次是1985年在瑞典隆德附近举行的，第二次是在纽约州罗切斯特举行的 约克于1987年提出。请拨经费用于#年的旅费和相关费用。 美国与会者将参加在剑桥举行的第三次研讨会， 英格兰，8月6日至11日，。 虽然第一次会议第一次将那些 参与移植研究的研究人员，第二个重点是 特别是植入物在神经退行性疾病中的应用 并且是一个跳板 致力于检查肾上腺髓质移植是否可能 为帕金森氏症提供合适的治疗方法。 第三次会议将有几项任务。它将回顾临床 进步。它将研究合适的动物的进一步发展 针对特定疾病的模型。最重要的是，它将特别致力于 注意使用植入物来了解基本的机制 与神经过程的发育和再生生长有关。 最重要的是考虑细胞和细胞的最新进展 分子生物学(包括使用转化细胞作为替代 应用于胎儿组织)和神经免疫学。 会议的安排将确保最多的讨论时间， 组委会认为在这一快速增长的 菲尔德。

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.
