Summary The 15th Annual Meeting of the International Cytokine Society (ICS) will be held in San Francisco, California from October 26-30, 2007. This international conference, titled "Cytokines in Health and Disease," will bring together leading investigators in the fields of cytokine signaling and biology, immunology, cancer research, and infectious diseases. The meeting is organized by Drs. Stephen Smale, Richard Flavell, Laurie Glimcher, Christopher Hunter, and Abul Abbas, who study cytokines from a broad range of perspectives. A major goal of the meeting will be to promote interactions between scientists performing cutting-edge studies of the molecular mechanisms of cytokine function, signal transduction, and gene expression, and those working to translate this knowledge into novel therapies for human disease. The therapeutic potential of cytokines and of modulators of cytokine signaling and expression are now appreciated, raising the need for enhanced interactions between basic, translational, and clinical researchers in this exciting field. In addition to approximately 48 invited speakers scheduled for Plenary Sessions and Symposia, a number of abstracts submitted by registrants will be selected for oral presentations in Special Topics Sessions, with other registrants given the opportunity to discuss their work at poster sessions. Scientists from academic institutions as well as from the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries have been invited and encouraged to participate. Outstanding junior investigators, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate/medical students will also be encouraged to participate, and awards will be given to three or four young researchers in each of these categories. A special effort will be made to support the career development of under-represented minorities and women. Although our overriding objective is to bring together researchers studying cytokines from diverse perspectives, one major theme of the meeting will be recent studies of the emerging field of T helper 17 (Th17) cell development and functions in normal physiology and a variety of diseases, with one Plenary Session devoted entirely to this important and exciting new research area. The titles of other Plenary Sessions and Symposia are "Innate Immune Recognition and Responses," "T-Cell Subsets," "Cytokines, Chemokines, and Inflammation," "Inhibitory Receptors and Cytokines," "Gene Regulation," "Inflammation and Cancer," "Signal Transduction," "Regulation of Macrophage Activities and Functions," and "Clinical Progress." It is the firm belief of the Organizing Committee and ICS Leadership that, by bringing together leaders, junior investigators, and trainees in these diverse areas of cytokine research, this meeting will inspire important new avenues of investigation and will be of great benefit to the career development of promising young investigators and trainees in the cytokine field.

总结 第15届国际细胞因子学会（ICS）年会将在加州的旧金山弗朗西斯科举行 2007年10月26日至30日。这次名为“健康与疾病中的细胞因子”的国际会议将带来 在细胞因子信号传导和生物学，免疫学，癌症研究领域的领先研究人员， 传染病会议由斯蒂芬·斯梅尔博士、理查德·弗拉维尔博士、劳里·格利姆彻博士、 克里斯托弗·亨特和阿布·阿巴斯，他们从广泛的角度研究细胞因子。的一个主要目标 这次会议将促进进行分子前沿研究的科学家之间的互动， 细胞因子功能，信号转导和基因表达的机制，以及那些致力于翻译这些机制的人。 用于人类疾病的新疗法。细胞因子及其调节剂的治疗潜力 细胞因子信号传导和表达现在受到重视，提高了对增强细胞因子之间相互作用的需求。 基础，翻译和临床研究人员在这个令人兴奋的领域。此外，约48名 发言人定于全体会议和专题讨论会，登记人提交的一些摘要将 被选中在专题会议上进行口头陈述，其他注册人有机会 在海报展示会上讨论他们的工作。来自学术机构和生物技术领域的科学家 已邀请和鼓励制药业参加。优秀少年 研究人员、博士后研究人员和研究生/医学生也将被鼓励参与， 并在每个类别中奖励三至四名青年研究人员。一项特别的努力将是 为支持代表性不足的少数民族和妇女的职业发展而制定。尽管我们的首要任务 目的是汇集从不同角度研究细胞因子的研究人员， 会议将是最近的研究新兴领域的T辅助17（Th 17）细胞的发展和功能， 正常的生理和各种疾病，一个全体会议完全致力于这一重要的， 令人兴奋的新研究领域。其他全体会议和专题讨论会的名称为“先天免疫 识别和反应”、“T细胞亚群”、“细胞因子、趋化因子和炎症”、“抑制 受体和细胞因子”、“基因调控”、“炎症和癌症”、“信号转导”、“调控 巨噬细胞活性和功能”和“临床进展”。“这是组织的坚定信念， 委员会和ICS领导，通过汇集领导者，初级调查员和学员在这些 细胞因子研究的不同领域，这次会议将激发重要的新的调查途径，并将 对于细胞因子领域有前途的年轻研究人员和学员的职业发展大有裨益。
