SYMPOSIUM--'NEW DIRECTIONS IN PRIMATE REPRODUCTION'

灵长类生殖领域已经取得了巨大的进步 生物学，特别是在过去的10年里，其中大部分是 受人类体外受精和其他“辅助受精”进展的影响 尽管，很少有研讨会是关于以下几个方面的 对于这些主题，还没有找到一个共同的论坛来介绍它们； 这主要是由于所涉要素的多样性和差异。这 研讨会将聚焦于非人类领域的最新发展 灵长类生殖生物学，并将强调生物医学建模，以及 几个灵长类物种的最新技术进步，都是在 从卵泡/卵母细胞成熟到成熟的个体发育过程框架 胚胎的植入。需要处理的一般领域包括： (1)卵泡发育调控和卵泡成像；(2) 灵长类体外受精；以及(3)胚胎发育和 植入。重点是应用最新的蜂窝 以及分子技术从卵泡成熟到 胚胎植入和发育--不可效仿的方法 在人类身上。因此，本次研讨会将有助于进一步阐明 灵长类繁殖的复杂方面；因此将有助于 在灵长类动物学领域是独一无二的。

Tremendous strides have been made in the are of primate reproductive biology, particularly over the past 10 years, much of which have been influenced by advances in human in-vitro fertilization, and other "assisted technologies." Although, rarely, are Symposia given on selected aspects of these topics, a common forum for their presentation has not been found; due primarily to the diversity and disparity of the elements involved. This Symposium will focus upon the latest developments in the field of non-human primate reproductive biology, and will emphasize biomedical modeling, and recent technologic advances in a few primate species, all within the framework of ontogenic progression from follicle/oocyte maturation to implantation of the embryo. The general areas to be addressed will be: (1) regulation of ovarian follicle development and follicular imaging; (2) primate in-vitro fertilization; and (3) embryonic development and implantation. Emphasis will be given to applying the most recent cellular and molecular techniques to the sequence from follicular ripening to embryonic implantation and development--approaches that can not be emulated in humans. This Symposium will therefore serve to further elucidate complicated aspects of primate reproduction; and will thereby contribute uniquely to the field of primatology in general.
