DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The current proposal for a conference to discuss the senescence, aging and cancer will be the 16th in a series of Growth Factor and Signal Transduction (GFST) conferences have been held at Iowa State University since 1988. The symposia have been funded from various sources including federal, state, university, and private agencies. The attendance has varied between about 80 and 150 at each conference with substantial national and international representation. The purpose of the conference is to explore the relation between cancer and senescence. Cellular senescence is a natural limit to somatic cell proliferation that is linked by growing evidence to both tumor suppression and aging. The meeting will bring together speakers from the cutting edges of both the aging and tumor suppression sides of this growing field. Tumor suppression is an especially important area of discussion and focus given the recent surge of progress in this area. Therapeutic avenues will also be discussed. Our objectives in organizing this conference is to encourage the presentation of the newest findings and to promote intensive exchange of information from disparate areas of the field, discussion of mechanisms, and initiation of new collaborations. In this conference a series of plenary lectures presented by the key participants will be interwoven with sessions during which some participants will give oral presentations. Other participants will present posters. Oral and poster presenters will be chosen from the submitted abstracts. Plenary talks will be 35 min with 10 min for discussion. Speakers for the workshops will be chosen from the submitted abstracts and will each have 15 minutes to talk with 5 minutes for discussion. These symposia generally attract a large number of students and postdoctoral fellows from across the nation and the world, many of whom present posters or short talks. To increase the opportunity for interaction among all participants and to maintain an atmosphere of informality, the number of participants will be restricted to a maximum of 150. The program is designed with interaction in mind and with frequent breaks for discussion. Live background music will be included with the dinners and at the reception to promote relaxed and prolonged discussion. The cost of meals is included in the registration and all meals are served in a single dining room, which is directly beside the conference hall. A dessert party is planned for after dinner on the Friday night to provide a means for people to gather and talk in a relaxed atmosphere. The results of the evaluations from previous conferences in this series show that the greatest strength of these conferences is that they promote discussion and intellectual stimulation.

描述（由申请人提供）：自1988年以来，在爱荷华州州立大学举行了一系列生长因子和信号转导（GFST）会议，目前提议召开一次会议，讨论衰老、衰老和癌症。 研讨会的资金来自各种来源，包括联邦、州、大学和私人机构。 每次会议的出席人数从80人到150人不等，有相当多的国家和国际代表参加。 会议的目的是探讨癌症与衰老之间的关系。 细胞衰老是体细胞增殖的自然限制，越来越多的证据将其与肿瘤抑制和衰老联系起来。 会议将汇集来自这一不断发展的领域的衰老和肿瘤抑制方面的最前沿的发言者。 肿瘤抑制是一个特别重要的讨论领域和重点，因为最近在这一领域的进展激增。 还将讨论治疗途径。 我们组织这次会议的目的是鼓励介绍最新的发现，促进该领域不同领域的信息密集交流，讨论机制，并启动新的合作。 在这次会议上，由主要参与者提出的一系列全体演讲将与一些参与者将进行口头报告的会议交织在一起。 其他参与者将展示海报。 将从提交的摘要中选择口头和海报介绍人。 全体会议35分钟，讨论10分钟。 研讨会的发言者将从提交的摘要中选出，每人有15分钟的发言时间和5分钟的讨论时间。 这些研讨会通常吸引了来自全国和世界各地的大量学生和博士后研究员，其中许多人展示海报或简短的演讲。 为了增加所有与会者之间互动的机会，并保持非正式的气氛，与会者人数将限制在最多150人。 该计划的设计考虑到互动，并经常休息进行讨论。 现场背景音乐将包括与晚宴和招待会，以促进轻松和长时间的讨论。 餐费包含在注册费中，所有餐费都在会议厅旁边的一个餐厅供应。 星期五晚上晚餐后计划举行一个甜点派对，为人们提供一个在轻松的气氛中聚会和交谈的机会。 对本系列以前会议的评估结果表明，这些会议的最大优点是促进了讨论和智力刺激。
