DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests support for a Gordon Research conference on Thiol-based Redox Regulation and Signaling to be held May 9-14, 2010 at Il Ciocco in Italy. The field of redox biology is key to the biomedical sciences as an increasing number of cellular functions and impairments are found linked to redox processes. Central to redox control are systems that utilize thiols to perform redox chemistry. Thiol-containing proteins are major antioxidants in cells and reversible oxidation of thiols in various phosphatases, kinases and transcription factors links thiol-based redox chemistry to phosphorylation-based signaling, apoptosis, gene regulation, cell cycle control and other processes and pathways. Dysregulation of thiol-based redox homeostasis has major implications for the onset and progression of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and other complex diseases and is a significant component of the process of aging. This conference is in its third cycle after a two very successful meetings in the U.S. and Italy in 2006 and 2008. The chair and vice-chair for this meeting are a physician scientist and a basic researcher, respectively, and are representative of the biologists, chemists and clinicians working on varied aspects of the field. This conference provides a venue for the free exchange of ideas and methodologies (the latter often limits progress in this particular field). While the thematic area of the conference is broad-based, its relevance to cancer, cardiovascular diseases and aging is well represented programmatically. By bringing together investigators with varied expertise in biophysical methods, bioinformatics and animal model systems, with physicians focused on disease processes, the meeting is expected to further stimulate collaborations and catalyze scientific progress as has been exemplified by the successes of the previous meetings.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案请求支持基于硫醇的氧化还原法规和信号的支持，将于2010年5月9日至14日在意大利的IL Ciocco举行。氧化还原生物学领域是生物医学科学的关键，因为发现越来越多的细胞功能与氧化还原过程有关。氧化还原控制的中心是利用硫醇进行氧化还原化学的系统。含硫醇的蛋白是细胞中的主要抗氧化剂，并且在各种磷酸酶，激酶和转录因子中对硫醇的可逆氧化将基于硫醇的氧化还原化学连接到基于磷酸化的信号传导，凋亡，基因调节，细胞周期控制以及其他过程和其他过程和其他过程和途径。基于硫醇的氧化还原稳态失调对癌症的发作和进展，心血管疾病和其他复杂疾病具有重大影响，并且是衰老过程的重要组成部分。这次会议是在2006年和2008年在美国和意大利举行的两次非常成功的会议之后的第三个周期。这次会议的主席和副主席分别是医师科学家和基础研究员，并且是生物学家，化学家和临床医生在各个领域工作的代表。这次会议为自由交流思想和方法论提供了一个场所（后者通常会限制在这个特定领域的进展）。虽然会议的主题领域是基于广泛的，但与癌症相关，但心血管疾病和衰老在编程方面很好地代表。通过将研究人员汇集到生物物理方法，生物信息学和动物模型系统方面的专业知识各异的研究者，并将其专注于疾病过程的医生，预计会议有望进一步刺激合作并催化科学进步，这是先前会议的成功所体现的。
