FOREFRONTS IN NEPHROLOGY

肾功能和肾脏疾病的研究尚未充分利用 新的基本技术。 具体来说，以医科大学为基础的肾病学 分裂没有充分利用更新的细胞和分子 生物学 因此，国际肾脏病学会 组织一系列会议，促进基本 研究技术，以研究正常和异常肾功能。 到 为实现这一目标，第一次会议，题为"分子生物学和 肾脏"，将汇集领先的基础研究人员， 一群年轻有为的肾脏病学家 对肾脏感兴趣的研究人员 这次会议的目的是 将肾脏病学社区暴露于特定类型的研究， 成功地回答了重要的基本问题。 这些新 研究中的技术应该有望适用于肾脏疾病的问题， 尚未被证实的研究。 本次会议的形式包括 诺贝尔奖获得者乔治帕拉德博士题为"控制"的介绍性演讲 蛋白质在真核细胞膜运输中的作用"。 随后，在 将举行3天会议，每天2场会议。 第一次会议将 解决激素受体和信号产生，将包括3 扬声器. 第二次会议题为"激素作用机制" 并将包括3个发言人。 第三和第四届会议是 题目是"运输蛋白的分子生物学" 会话3将有3个 第四届会议将有两名发言人。 第五届会议题为 “受体介导的内吞作用”，将包括2个发言人。 最后 第六届会议被称为"膜贩运和目标"，将 包括两名发言者。 每位演讲者将进行45分钟的演讲， 然后是45分钟的讨论时间。 讨论将由 一位成熟的学术肾病学家， 演讲者的专业领域，以及谁将组织讨论， 演讲者的信息可以被整合到 肾脏病学研究。 希望这次会议不仅能增加 肾脏病学界对基础研究的认识，但 还将提供具体的方向，利用已经证明的方法， 在非肾脏研究中取得成功。 应当指出，16项口头 受邀演讲者的演讲，以及整个讨论， 将作为国际肾脏杂志的特刊发表。

Research on renal function and renal disease has not taken full advantage of new basic techniques. Specifically, medical university-based nephrology divisions have not taken full advantage of newer cell and molecular biology. As a result, the International Society of Nephrology is organizing a series of meetings to stimulate the application of basic research techniques to the study of normal and abnormal renal function. To accomplish this, the first meeting, entitled "Molecular Biology and the Kidney", will bring together leading basic researchers with established investigative nephrologists and with a group of young and promising investigators interested in the kidney. The goal of this meeting is to expose the nephrology community to specific types of research that have been successful in answering important basic questions. These new techniques in research should hopefully be applicable to questions in renal research that are as yet unaswered. The format of this meeting includes an introductory lecture by Nobel Laureate Dr. George Palade entitled "Control of Protein in Membrane Traffic in Eukaryotic Cells". Following this, there will be 3 days of meetings with 2 sessions per day. The first session will address hormone receptors and signal generation and will include 3 speakers. The second session is entitled "Mechanisms of Hormone Action" and will also include 3 speakers. The third and fourth sessions are entitled "Molecular Biology of Transport Proteins". Session 3 will have 3 speakers and Session 4 will have 2 speakers. The fifth session is entitled "Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis" and will include 2 speakers. Finally, the sixth session is called "Membrane Trafficking and Targeting" and will include 2 speakers. Each speaker will make a 45-minute presentation to be followed by a 45-minute discussion period. The discussions will be led by an established academic nephrologist who has become familiar with his speaker's area of expertise and who will organize the discussion so that the speaker's message can be integrated into the general field of nephrology research. It is hoped that this meeting will not only increase awareness of the nephrology community with respect to basic research, but will also provide specific directions utilizing approaches that have proven successful in non-renal research. It should be noted that the 16 oral presentations by the invited speakers, as well as the entire discussion, will appear as a special issue of the journal Kidney International.
