DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This meeting on cytokinesis will be sponsored by the American Society of Cell Biology (ASCB). Topics of these meetings are generally proposed by ASCB members and selected by a committee based on its significance, timeliness, interest, and strengths of organizers and potential speakers. The meeting will be held at the University of Vermont, Burlington, on July 22-25, 2004. Cytokinesis, the last step of cell division, is critical to many physiological and pathological processes including embryonic development, wound healing, skeletomuscular functions, immune responses, and cancerous growth. The field has undergone dramatic advances since the last meeting in the United States 14 years ago, incorporating a large number of new experimental methods, biological systems, and functional models, and attracting many new investigators with diverse expertise. A comprehensive meeting on this topic is viewed by the cell biology community as urgent for the development of the field and stimulatory for many other fields of basic and clinical research. The meeting will be organized around functional aspects of cytokinesis, and will include sessions on cortical assembly and contraction, membrane dynamics, interactions with mitosis, and findings obtained by new genomic and non-genomic approaches. The presentations will be delivered by a mixture of invited speakers and speakers selected from submitted abstracts. The latter will be primarily young investigators, while the former will be visionaries giving balanced presentations between new results and general perspectives. There will also be a poster session to foster one-to-one interactions. This format is expected to be maximally educational and stimulatory to an audience of approximately 200, which will be evenly distributed among trainees and junior and senior investigators. The meeting is expected to mediate intense discussions in search of common principles of cytokinesis, and to stimulate new interdisciplinary collaborations.

描述（由申请人提供）：这次关于胞质分裂的会议将由美国细胞生物学协会（ASCB）主办。这些会议的主题通常由ASCB成员提出，并由一个委员会根据其重要性，及时性，兴趣和组织者和潜在发言者的优势进行选择。会议将于2004年7月22日至25日在伯灵顿的佛蒙特大学举行。胞质分裂是细胞分裂的最后一步，对许多生理和病理过程至关重要，包括胚胎发育、伤口愈合、骨骼肌功能、免疫反应和癌生长。自14年前在美国举行的上一次会议以来，该领域经历了巨大的进步，纳入了大量新的实验方法，生物系统和功能模型，并吸引了许多具有不同专业知识的新研究人员。细胞生物学界认为，就这一主题召开一次全面的会议是该领域发展的迫切需要，也是对许多其他基础和临床研究领域的刺激。会议将围绕胞质分裂的功能方面组织，并将包括皮质组装和收缩，膜动力学，与有丝分裂的相互作用，以及通过新的基因组和非基因组方法获得的发现会议。专题介绍将由特邀发言者和从提交的摘要中选出的发言者混合进行。后者将主要是年轻的研究人员，而前者将是有远见的人，在新的结果和一般观点之间进行平衡的介绍。还将举行海报会议，以促进一对一的互动。预计这一形式将对大约200名受众具有最大的教育和激励作用，这些受众将在受训人员和初级及高级调查员中平均分布。会议预计将调解激烈的讨论，寻找共同的原则胞质分裂，并刺激新的跨学科合作。
