DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Bones and Teeth Gordon Research Conference will be held from July 15th-20th, 2007 at the University of New England in Biddeford, Maine. The goal of the B&TGRC is to provide a forum for presentation and discussion of cutting-edge basic, translational and clinical research in order to gain insights into pathophysiological mechanisms, which are necessary for the development of new therapeutic approaches for restoration of normal tissue structure and function. Genetic disorders of the skeleton (defined here as bone, cartilage, teeth and associated soft tissues) are currently untreatable for the most part, and while relatively rare, they present major difficulties to physicians in the clinical management of patients with these often deforming and debilitating diseases. Furthermore, the incidence of acquired skeletal disorders is increasing at a rapid rate due to an increase in life expectancy. The 2007 B&TGRC Program will include sessions on epigenetics, skeletal development, dental biology, stem cell biology, osteoimmunology, metastatic bone disease, calcium and phosphate metabolism and current therapies for the treatment of bone disorders, all of which are emerging areas of relevance to skeletal homeostasis in health and disease. Sessions will start with a brief overview of the topic by the session chairs, and presentations by invited speakers will be followed by discussion. The conference will also feature poster sessions in the late afternoons, and a series of short talks selected from submitted abstracts will be presented at the end of each session. The format and atmosphere that characterizes the Gordon Research Conferences will foster the free exchange of ideas and discussing of future directions in the study and treatment of skeletal tissues.

描述（由申请人提供）：骨骼和牙齿戈登研究会议将于2007年7月15日至20日在缅因州比德福德新英格兰大学举行。B&TGRC的目标是提供一个论坛，展示和讨论前沿的基础、转化和临床研究，以深入了解病理生理机制，这对于开发恢复正常组织结构和功能的新治疗方法是必要的。骨骼的遗传性疾病（这里定义为骨、软骨、牙齿和相关软组织）目前在大多数情况下是无法治疗的，虽然相对罕见，但它们给医生在临床管理这些经常变形和使人衰弱的疾病患者时带来了主要困难。
