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 Third International Conference on Osteoimmunology: Interactions of the Immune and Skeletal Systems will be held on June 20th- 25th, 2010 at the Nomikos Conference Center Fira, Santorini, Greece. Inclusion of Women and Minorities The organizers will invite additional speakers to give short talks based on reviews of the submitted abstracts. Students and individuals from groups and countries that are underrepresented in science will be given special consideration both for participation and for presentations. These will include women and underrepresented minorities. One woman (Dr. Alberta Zallone) is a member of the organizing committee; seven women are among the 19 invited speakers. We anticipate 150 participants at this meeting.

描述（由申请人提供）：直到最近才认识到免疫系统和骨骼系统具有重要的相互作用。现在有充分证据表明，破骨细胞是骨骼稳态的重要细胞介质，来源于造血前体细胞，也能产生免疫细胞。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至关重要。过去，参与免疫和骨细胞研究的科学家很少以显着的方式进行互动，因为这些学科是独立发展的，并且在很大程度上保持独立。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，加强这些以前独立学科的科学家之间合作的主要方法是将两个领域的成员聚集在一起参加一次会议，在会议上所有参与者都可以自由互动并分享想法。第三届国际骨免疫学会议：免疫与骨骼系统的相互作用将于2010年6月20日至25日在希腊圣托里尼岛费拉Nomikos会议中心举行。 妇女和少数群体的包容性 组织者将根据对提交摘要的审查邀请其他演讲者进行简短的演讲。来自在科学领域代表性不足的团体和国家的学生和个人将在参与和演讲方面得到特别考虑。这些人将包括妇女和代表性不足的少数族裔。一名女性（Alberta Zallone 博士）是组委会成员； 19 名受邀演讲者中有 7 名女性。我们预计本次会议将有 150 名与会者。
