DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests funds to support the 5th Biannual Conference on Cell Death, to be held at Maynooth College, National University of Ireland, June 25-28 2004. The theme of the conference will be "Cell Maintenance and Cell Death -- a Look into the 21st Century". The related fields of programmed cell death and apoptosis are important in several disciplines, including immunology, oncology, neurology, infectious diseases, cardiac infarct and stroke, reproductive biology, teratology, and environmental medicine. A major goal of our society is to serve as a means of maintaining a fruitful and synergistic dialog among these disciplines. We expect to focus in this conference on thresholds at which cells commit to death, particularly in situations in which alternative paths to death (apoptosis, autophagy, and other paths) are options. We will maintain focus on processes, particularly insofar as they relate to potential therapeutic uses and interpretations of laboratory and clinical data deriving therefrom. We will address such issues as the roles of non-caspase proteases in alternative paths to death and in atrophy and other cell regression without death, and in organs such as the eye, which are not usually considered in meetings. We have an excellent record of equality in ethnic and gender distribution among speakers, as well as accommodation for specific needs, and will take direct steps to continue and enhance this record. We also have an excellent record of supporting and featuring upcoming junior scientists at these meetings, who do not often meet face to face. We keep our costs low to encourage participation by junior scientists. This conference will bring together Americans and scientists predominantly from Europe and the Middle East. We have published two Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences from these meetings, and the last meeting served as a basis for the organization of the second edition of When Cells Die (Wiley-Liss). We expect that this meeting will lead to further publications.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求资金支持2004年6月25日至28日在爱尔兰国立大学梅诺斯学院举行的第五次三年一次的细胞死亡会议。会议的主题将是“细胞维护和细胞死亡 - 探索21世纪”。 在几个学科中，程序性细胞死亡和凋亡的相关领域很重要，包括免疫学，肿瘤学，神经病学，传染病，心脏梗死和中风，生殖生物学，畸胎学和环境医学。 我们社会的主要目标是作为在这些学科中维持富有成果和协同对话的一种手段。 我们希望将重点放在细胞致死的阈值上，特别是在替代性死亡途径（凋亡，自噬和其他路径）的情况下。 我们将继续关注过程，特别是与从那里得出的实验室和临床数据的潜在治疗用途和解释有关的过程。 我们将解决诸如非caspase蛋白酶在死亡的替代途径，萎缩和其他无死亡的细胞回归中的作用，以及在会议中通常不考虑的眼睛等器官中的作用。 我们在演讲者之间具有良好的种族和性别分配平等记录，以及针对特定需求的住宿，并将采取直接措施继续并增强这一记录。 在这些会议上，我们也有很好的支持和支持即将到来的初级科学家的记录，他们经常面对面会见。 我们保持低廉的成本，以鼓励初级科学家参与。 这次会议将主要来自欧洲和中东的美国人和科学家。 我们已经从这些会议上发表了纽约科学院的两个年鉴，最后一次会议是第二版《何时死亡》（Wiley-liss）组织的基础。 我们希望这次会议将导致进一步的出版物。
