DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Partial support is requested for the 2005 Gordon Research Conference on Motile and Contractile Systems to be held July 10- July 15, 2005 at Colby-Sawyer College in New Hampshire. The purpose of this conference is to encourage the transfer of ideas and information within the community of scientists who work at the forefront of cytoskeletal research, an area that has long been recognized as critical for understanding fundamental biological processes. Cytoskeletal elements are essential for life in eukaryotes, making central contributions to cell motility, cell signaling, membrane trafficking, cell division, cell polarity, and the development of multicellular organisms. Actin, microtubules and motors are important for many normal physiological functions including wound healing, pathogen-cell interactions, celli-mediated immunity and embryogenesis. Moreover, cytoskeletal defects underlay many pathological human conditions including musculoskeletal and neurodegenerative diseases, ontogenesis, respiratory diseases, infertility, and congenital blindness and deafness. The 2005 conference will focus on dynamics of cytoskeletal elements in living cells, and the functions of these complexes in cell locomotion, intracellular transport of membrane-bounded vesicles and mRNAs, wound healing, chromosome segregation and cell division, and tissue morphogenesis in development. A special session will be devoted to pathological conditions caused by mutations in genes encoding cytoskeletal proteins. Because of its breadth and interdisciplinary nature, the Motile and Contractile Systems Gordon Conference has continued to play a seminal role in the field, despite the proliferation of subspecialty meetings. The conference will feature a Keynote Lecture by Dr. Joel Rosenbaum who will discuss the biological role of intraflagellar transport and pathological conditions caused by its deficiency. Approximately 60 outstanding research scientists will make formal presentations in eight lecture/discussion sessions. About one-third of these presentations will be selected from the submitted abstracts to encourage participation by outstanding new investigators, postdocs and students. Conferees who do not make oral contributions will be encouraged to present their recent work in a poster format.

描述（由申请人提供）：将要求2005年7月10日至2005年7月15日在新罕布什尔州的Colby-Sawyer College举行的2005年Motile and Andercoile Systems研究会议的部分支持。这次会议的目的是鼓励在科学家社区中转移思想和信息，这些科学家在细胞骨架研究的最前沿工作，该领域长期以来一直被认为是理解基本生物学过程至关重要的领域。细胞骨架元素对于真核生物的生命至关重要，对细胞运动，细胞信号传导，膜运输，细胞分裂，细胞极性以及多细胞生物的发展做出了中心贡献。肌动蛋白，微管和电动机对于许多正常的生理功能很重要，包括伤口愈合，病原体 - 细胞相互作用，细胞介导的免疫和胚胎发生。此外，细胞骨架缺陷底部是许多病理人类状况，包括肌肉骨骼和神经退行性疾病，个体发生，呼吸道疾病，不育以及先天性的失明和聋子。 2005年的会议将重点介绍活细胞中细胞骨架元件的动力学，以及这些复合物在细胞运动中的功能，膜结合囊泡和mRNA的细胞内转运，伤口愈合，染色体分离和细胞分裂，细胞分裂以及发育中的组织形成。特殊会议将致力于由编码细胞骨架蛋白的基因突变引起的病理状况。由于其广度和跨学科的性质，尽管亚专业会议繁殖，但Motile and Converctile Systems Gordon会议仍在该领域发挥着精确的作用。该会议将由乔尔·罗森鲍姆（Joel Rosenbaum）博士举办主题演讲，该讲座将讨论flagellar内运输的生物学作用以及由于其缺乏症而引起的病理状况。大约60位杰出的研究科学家将在八次讲座/讨论会议上进行正式演讲。这些演讲中约有三分之一将从提交的摘要中选择，以鼓励杰出的新调查员，博士后和学生参与。不做口头贡献的同盟者将鼓励以海报形式介绍他们最近的作品。
