Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy and Related Cerebral Microvasculopathies

描述(申请人提供)：本申请寻求支持将于2009年11月12-14日在加州洛杉矶罗纳德·里根医学中心和大卫·格芬医学院举行的题为脑淀粉样血管病及相关脑微血管病变的会议。会议将寻求招募目前活跃于脑淀粉样血管病研究的临床和基础科学家，以及来自非淀粉样脑微血管病(包括脑视网膜血管病，CADASIL)和淀粉样免疫疗法等相关领域的领先研究人员，包括具有生物标志物专业知识的个人。将作出特别努力，将有前途的临床和基础初级科学家包括在内。脑淀粉样血管病及相关脑微血管病会议将集中讨论淀粉样血管病变相关微出血和其他生物标记物、动物模型、非淀粉样血管病变以及淀粉样血管病与阿尔茨海默病的抗淀粉样免疫治疗方法之间的关系等领域的最新进展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks support for a conference entitled Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy and Related Cerebral Microvasculopathies to be held November 12-14, 2009, at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and David Geffen School of Medicine in Los Angeles, CA. The conference will seek to recruit clinical and basic scientists currently active in studying cerebral amyloid angiopathy as well as leading investigators from related fields such as the non-amyloid cerebral microangiopathies (including cerebroretinal vasculopathies, CADASIL) and amyloid immunotherapy, including individuals with expertise in biomarkers. A special effort will be made to include promising clinical and basic junior scientists. The Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy and Related Cerebral Microvasculopathies conference will focus on recent developments in areas such as amyloid angiopathyrelated microbleeds and other biomarkers, animal models, the non-amyloid angiopathies, and the relation between amyloid angiopathy and anti-amyloid immunotherapeutic approaches to Alzheimer disease.
