DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Genes critical for development have been implicated in cancer in rabidly increasing numbers. The meeting we intend to have will bring together leading researchers in both cancer and development to facilitate the exchange of information and to promote mutual learning. Areas to be included are cancer progression, telomeres and telomerase, signal transduction pathways, chromatin machines, mouse models of human cancer, transcriptional regulators, extracellular matrix cell cycle and DNA repair, stem cells, and cell cycle. The meeting will include researchers investigating very fundamental areas of developmental biology and those who study cancer with a more clinical perspective, to improve communication between researchers with these types of experience. The meeting is especially timely given the resent explosion of information about the involvement of developmental signal transduction pathways such as EGF, Hedgehog, TGF, and Wnt in many types of human cancer.

描述（由申请人提供）：对发育至关重要的基因与癌症有牵连，数量迅速增加。我们打算举行的会议将汇集癌症和发展领域的主要研究人员，以促进信息交流和相互学习。将包括的领域是癌症进展、端粒和端粒酶、信号转导通路、染色质机器、人类癌症的小鼠模型、转录调节因子、细胞外基质细胞周期和DNA修复、干细胞和细胞周期。会议将包括研究发育生物学非常基础领域的研究人员和那些从临床角度研究癌症的研究人员，以改善具有这些经验的研究人员之间的沟通。这次会议是特别及时的，因为最近爆炸的信息涉及发育信号转导途径，如EGF，刺猬，TGF和Wnt在许多类型的人类癌症。
