DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request partial support for the 5th National Meeting of the American Society for Matrix Biology (ASMB), to be held at the Francis Marion Hotel, Charleston, SC on October 24-27, 2010. The 5th ASMB meeting builds on the success of the previous meeting, which drew over 400 participants from diverse fields, in academia and industry, spent 4 days of intense discussion and exchange of ideas on the broad topic of matrix biology. We intend to expand on that success. To this end we have assembled a plenary program consisting of distinguished scientists from diverse areas that impinge directly or indirectly on extracellular matrix (ECM) biology. The meeting will open with a Keynote Address by Dr. Elaine Fuchs, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, who will talk on stem cells, ECM, and cancer in skin. The following 3 days will consist of four Plenary Sessions and six blocks of three Concurrent Sessions, focused on topics such as ECM-Cell Interactions, ECM Disease Mechanisms, Development and Morphogenesis, Engineered ECMs, ECM Proteins and the Musculoskeletal System, Genetic Diseases, and much more. Sessions will include speakers from diverse fields to promote cross-fertilization of ideas. The ASMB is a unique convocation of the varied, specialized disciplines that have developed out of matrix biology. Unlike large society meetings, the ASMB meeting has a dominant theme, and unlike symposia it strives to encompass all permutations on this theme, including emerging issues, not-ready-for-prime-time topics, and exciting new areas of research. In particular, this meeting will emphasize state of the art technologies that can answer questions pertinent to ECM biology and pathology that could not be tackled with existing methodologies. In summary, the ASMB meeting provides an exclusive opportunity for interested scientists to meet in a concentrated forum. This is true not only for established investigators but also for young scientists and students, including minorities, on whose participation we place great emphasis.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们请求部分支持美国矩阵生物学学会（ASMB）第五届全国会议，将于2010年10月24日至27日在查尔斯顿的弗朗西斯马里恩酒店举行。第五届ASMB会议在上一次会议的成功基础上，吸引了来自学术界和工业界不同领域的400多名与会者，就基质生物学的广泛主题进行了为期4天的激烈讨论和思想交流。我们打算扩大这一成功。为此，我们已经组装了一个全体会议计划，由来自不同领域的杰出科学家组成，直接或间接地影响细胞外基质（ECM）生物学。会议将以美国国家科学院院士Elaine Fuchs博士的主题演讲开始，他将谈论干细胞，ECM和皮肤癌。接下来的3天将包括四个全体会议和六个模块的三个并行会议，重点关注ECM-细胞相互作用，ECM疾病机制，发育和形态发生，工程ECM，ECM蛋白质和肌肉骨骼系统，遗传疾病等主题。会议将包括来自不同领域的发言者，以促进思想的交流。ASMB是一个独特的召集各种各样的，专门的学科，已经发展出矩阵生物学。与大型社会会议不同，ASMB会议有一个主导主题，与专题讨论会不同，它努力涵盖这个主题的所有排列，包括新兴问题，尚未准备好的黄金时间主题，以及令人兴奋的新研究领域。特别是，这次会议将强调最先进的技术，可以回答有关ECM生物学和病理学的问题，不能用现有的方法来解决。总之，ASMB会议为感兴趣的科学家提供了一个集中论坛的独家机会。这不仅适用于资深调查人员，也适用于青年科学家和学生，包括少数群体，我们非常重视他们的参与。
