GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCE ON HORMONE ACTION

戈登研究会议将活跃的研究人员聚集在一起， 为深入讨论的目的而进行的特定研究领域，包括 新的和未发表的思想和技术的交流。1993年 激素行动会议是该系列的第24次会议。 这项建议的具体目的是为《公约》获得部分资金， 戈登激素作用研究会议。本会议将继续 为分子和细胞领域的最新进展提供论坛 内分泌学这是为数不多的涵盖广泛的会议之一。 激素作用的范围，包括对激素作用的讨论 通过质膜受体以及激素， 细胞内受体计划举行九次会议， 激素作用的横截面。将有几次会议专门讨论 细胞膜受体及其功能的研究进展 与第二信使系统的偶联以及特定的 蛋白激酶和钙调节细胞活性。其他 会议将研究类固醇受体的结构，功能和 类固醇受体与其他转录因子的相互作用。在 此外，神经内分泌对基因表达的调控将是 一个会议的主题。还计划为 会议所有与会者将被邀请提交一份摘要， 海报会议，让每个人都有机会展示数据， 参与讨论。这次会议汇集了一个不同的群体， 从研究分子机制的基础科学家 生理学家和医学科学家 对激素的综合作用及其应用感兴趣 人类疾病有限的出勤政策加上高度的 成功的海报会议，年轻的科学家和资深的 研究人员介绍了他们未发表的工作，提供了一个非常有利的 交流思想的论坛。戈登会议基金会提供 为这些会议提供大量支助，但无法提供足够的 会议的一些主要开支。 因此，我们认为， 来自美国国立卫生研究院的支持对于 会议的持续成功。

The Gordon Research Conferences bring together active researchers in a given area of research for the purpose of in-depth discussion, including the exchange of new and unpublished ideas and technology. The 1993 Conference on Hormone Action represents the 24th conference in the series. The specific aim of this proposal is to obtain partial funding for the Gordon Research Conference on Hormone Action. The conference will continue to provide a forum for the latest advances in molecular and cellular endocrinology. This is one of the few conferences that covers a wide spectrum of hormone action including discussion of hormones which act through plasma membrane receptors as well as hormones which act through intracellular receptors. Nine sessions are planned which will cover a cross section of hormone action. Several sessions will be devoted to recent developments in the study of plasma membrane receptors and their coupling to second messenger systems as well as the role of specific protein kinases and calcium in regulating cellular activity. Other sessions will examine steroid receptor structure, function and the interaction of steroid receptors with other transcription factors. In addition, the neuroendocrine regulation of gene expression will be the topic of one session. Two poster sessions are also planned for the conference. All participants will be invited to submit an abstract for the poster session giving everyone the opportunity to present data and participate in discussion. This conference brings together a diverse group of individuals ranging from basic scientists studying molecular mechanisms of hormone regulation, to physiologists and physician scientists interested in the integrative actions of hormones and their application to human disease. The limited attendance policy coupled with highly successful poster sessions, in which both younger scientists and senior investigators present their unpublished work, provides a highly favorable forum for an exchange of ideas. The Gordon Conference Foundation provides substantial support for these conferences, but cannot provide sufficient funds to cover a number of major expenses of the conference. Therefore, support from the National Institutes of Health is critical to the continuing success of the conference.
