DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): It has only recently been appreciated that the immune and skeletal systems have major interactions. It is now well documented that osteoclasts, which are important cellular mediators of skeletal homeostasis, are derived from hematopoietic precursors that also give rise to immune cells. In addition, numerous cytokines that were first shown to regulate immune cell function have also been demonstrated to regulate bone cells and influence skeletal health. Conversely, products of bone cells appear critical for the engraftment of marrow in bone and the normal development of the hematopoietic and immune systems. In the past scientists involved in immune and bone cell investigations have rarely interacted in a significant way as these disciplines have developed independently and, for the most part, remain separate. The goal of the proposed meeting is to allow these scientists to interact so that new collaboration can develop and more rapid progress in understanding the relationships between the immune system and the skeletal system can be achieved. The fundamental hypothesis of the organizers is that progress in the field of osteoimmunology will be delayed unless better communication is established between bone biologists and immunologists. We believe that a primary way to enhance collaborations between scientists in these previously separate disciplines is to bring the members of both fields together at a conference in which all participants can interact freely and share ideas. The Second International Conference on Osteoimmunology: Interactions of the Immune and Skeletal Systems will be held on June 8-13, 2008 at the Aldemar Paradise Village Conference Center and Hotel, Kallithea, Rhodes, Greece. Progress in the field of osteoimmunology depends on the establishment of better communication between bone biologists and immunologists. We believe that the best way to enhance collaborations between scientists in these previously separate disciplines is to bring the members of both fields together at a conference in which all participants can interact freely and share ideas. This application proposes to provide support for the Second International Conference on Osteoimmunology: Interactions of the Immune and Skeletal Systems, which will be held on June 8-13, 2008 at the Aldemar Paradise Village Conference Center and Hotel, Kallithea, Rhodes, Greece.

描述（由申请人提供）：最近才认识到免疫和骨骼系统具有主要的相互作用。破骨细胞是骨骼稳态的重要细胞介质，它来源于造血前体细胞，造血前体细胞也产生免疫细胞。此外，许多最初被证明可以调节免疫细胞功能的细胞因子也被证明可以调节骨细胞并影响骨骼健康。相反，骨细胞的产物对于骨髓在骨中的植入以及造血和免疫系统的正常发育似乎至关重要。在过去，参与免疫和骨细胞研究的科学家很少以重要的方式相互作用，因为这些学科都是独立发展的，而且在大多数情况下，仍然是分开的。拟议会议的目标是让这些科学家进行互动，以便开展新的合作，并在理解免疫系统和骨骼系统之间的关系方面取得更快的进展。组织者的基本假设是，除非在骨生物学家和免疫学家之间建立更好的沟通，否则骨免疫学领域的进展将被推迟。我们认为，加强科学家在这些以前独立的学科之间合作的主要方法是将这两个领域的成员聚集在一个会议上，所有参与者都可以自由互动并分享想法。第二届骨免疫学国际会议：免疫和骨骼系统的相互作用将于2008年6月8日至13日在希腊罗兹卡利西亚的Aldemar天堂村会议中心和酒店举行。骨免疫学领域的进展取决于骨生物学家和免疫学家之间建立更好的沟通。我们认为，加强这些先前独立学科的科学家之间合作的最佳方式是将这两个领域的成员聚集在一个会议上，所有参与者都可以自由互动并分享想法。本申请旨在为第二届国际骨免疫学会议提供支持：免疫和骨骼系统的相互作用，该会议将于2008年6月8日至13日在希腊罗兹的卡利西亚的Aldemar Paradise Village会议中心和酒店举行。
