57th Symposium: The Cell Surface Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Symposium held early June in Cold Spring Harbor, New York

冷泉港专题讨论会每年六月初在纽约冷泉港冷泉港实验室举行。他们汇集了来自世界各地的大约300-400名科学家，展示和评估快速发展的生物研究领域的新数据和想法。每年选定的一个主题似乎处于需要进行全面和深入审查和审查的阶段。1988年的冷泉港班伯里会议为随后一系列细胞周期研究方法的合并奠定了基础。那些研究信号转导、子囊菌遗传学和海洋无脊椎动物的人第一次开始能够用一种共同的语言交谈。这是由于认识到几个关键的细胞周期调节因子在真核生物进化过程中是保守的。经过一段时期的显著统一，细胞周期领域现在已经发展成为一个吸引了来自各种不同学科的科学家的注意的领域。第56届冷泉港研讨会题为“细胞周期”，旨在汇集那些在信号转导、有丝分裂控制、有丝分裂和DNA复制方面工作的人。通过阐述对一个共同问题采取的非常不同的方法，本次研讨会将加强最近给这个领域带来如此活力的相互作用。

The Cold Spring Harbor Symposia are held yearly at the beginning of June at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, New York. They bring together approximately 300-400 scientists from all over the world to present and evaluate new data and ideas in rapidly moving areas of biological research. Each year a topic is chosen that seems to be at a stage where general and intensive scrutiny and review is needed. A Cold Spring Harbor Banbury meeting in 1988 set the stage for the subsequent merger of a wide range of approaches to the cell cycle. For the first time those working on signal transduction, ascomycete genetics and marine invertebrates began to be able to talk in a common language. This followed the realization that several critical cell cycle regulators are conserved throughout eukaryotic evolution. Following a period of remarkable unification, the cell cycle field has now developed into one that attracts the attention of scientists from a variety of very different disciplines. The 56th Cold Spring Harbor Symposium entitled The Cell Cycle is designed to bring together those who work on aspects of signal transduction, mitotic control, mitosis, and DNA replication. By illustrating the very different approaches that are taken to a common problem, this Symposium will reinforce the interactions that have recently brought this field such vitality.
