The 2000 Gordon Research Conference on Prolactin will provide an outstanding forum for presentation and thorough critical discussion of progress in scientific areas directly pertinent to the functional, biochemical and molecular genetic aspects of prolactin (PRL). Sessions will cover the following topics: PRL in the mammary gland lactogens and reproductive functions, PRL and the related growth hormone (GH) on angiogenesis and apoptosis, PRL on immunoregulation, pituitary development and neuroendocrine control of PRL, PRL/GH/cytokine receptor functions and transcriptional regulation by PRL/GH. The program for 2000 will provide a forum in which numerous mouse genetic models will be described and their varying phenotypes discussed, including tissue-specific knockouts in the mammary gland and of specific components of the PRL receptor signaling pathway. A unique feature of this PRL Conference will be seven short platform talks that will be selected from submitted abstracts. These presentations will specifically focus on recruiting bright young trainees and scientists early in their careers to present their hottest findings. Poster sessions will be held for informal presentations open to all attendees. The conference organizers and Discussion Leaders will promote an environment in which broad participation in discussions will occur. The speakers who have accepted our invitations represent a diverse spectrum of research interests, geographic regions, ages and include a good mix of men and women (41 percent). The additional speakers who will be selected for the platform presentations will add further to the diversity represented on the podium. The Prolactin GRC has fostered numerous collaborative efforts over the years. A symposium at the Annual Meeting of the Endocrine Society in each of the past 4 years, and one at the Pituitary Society Meeting last year, has been a direct consequence of a Prolactin Gordon Conference session. The traditional strength of the Prolactin Gordon Conference has ensured that it continues to be the meeting of choice for researchers both within the immediate prolactin field, and in closely related research areas. In this application, we are requesting funds to partially defray expenses for trainees whose abstracts are accepted for the platform presentation, and for a portion of the costs of speakers who have accepted invitations to make presentations.

2000年戈登催乳素研究会议将提供一个杰出的论坛，对催乳素（PRL）的功能、生化和分子遗传学方面直接相关的科学领域的进展进行介绍和彻底的批判性讨论。会议将涵盖以下主题：PRL在乳腺乳原和生殖功能中的作用，PRL和相关生长激素（GH）对血管生成和凋亡的作用，PRL对免疫调节的作用，PRL对垂体发育和神经内分泌的控制，PRL/GH/细胞因子受体的功能以及PRL/GH的转录调节。2000年的计划将提供一个论坛，在这个论坛上，许多小鼠遗传模型将被描述，它们的不同表型将被讨论，包括乳腺组织特异性敲除和PRL受体信号通路的特定成分。本次PRL会议的一个独特之处在于，将从提交的摘要中选出七个简短的平台演讲。这些演讲将特别侧重于招募聪明的年轻学员和处于职业生涯早期的科学家来展示他们最热门的发现。海报会议将举行非正式演讲，向所有与会者开放。会议组织者和讨论领导者将促进广泛参与讨论的环境。接受我们邀请的演讲者代表了不同的研究兴趣、地理区域、年龄，男女比例也很好（41%）。在讲台上发言的其他发言者将进一步增加讲台上代表的多样性。催乳素GRC多年来促进了许多合作努力。在过去的四年中，每年内分泌学会年会的一次研讨会，以及去年垂体学会年会的一次研讨会，都是催乳素戈登会议的直接结果。催乳素戈登会议的传统优势确保了它继续成为催乳素领域和密切相关研究领域研究人员的首选会议。在这个申请中，我们请求资金来部分支付那些摘要被接受用于平台演示的学员的费用，以及接受演讲邀请的演讲者的部分费用。
