Conference: The Cytoskeleton and Cell Function Meeting at Cold Spring Harbor, New York, April 26-30, 1995

9421544会议定于1995年4月26日至30日在冷泉港举行，预计将吸引约300名从事细胞骨架各个方面工作的科学家参加。这次会议将集中讨论细胞骨架在各种生物学过程中的调控和功能，包括肌动蛋白细丝组装和动力学、运动系统、微管组装和动力学、细胞分裂和核结构、中间丝、分子马达和细胞内运输、膜-细胞骨架相互作用，以及细胞骨架在发育和分化中的作用。不同的系统将被代表，包括酵母，衣藻，网囊动物，果蝇和脊椎动物。细胞骨架在细胞功能中的基本重要性引起了包括细胞生物学家、生物化学家、分子生物学家、遗传学家和发育生物学家在内的多个学科的研究人员的兴趣。细胞骨架跨越了细胞生物学、分子生物学、发育生物学、遗传学和生物化学的界限；将不同领域的工作人员聚集在一个可以讨论想法和发展交流的地方是非常重要的。由于背景和侧重点不同，会议将围绕主要以生物功能为重点的会议展开。将尽一切努力介绍使用生化、结构(结晶学、核磁共振)、分子、免疫学和遗传技术研究细胞骨架在细胞功能中的作用的许多实验方法。这次会议将集中讨论细胞骨架在各种生物学过程中的调节和功能，包括肌动蛋白细丝组装和动力学、运动系统、微管组装和动力学、细胞分裂和核结构、中间丝、分子马达和细胞内运输、膜-细胞骨架相互作用，以及细胞发育和分化中的细胞骨架。它计划于1995年4月26日至30日在冷泉港举行，预计将吸引来自细胞生物学、生物化学、分子生物学、遗传学和发育生物学等多个专业的约300名科学家。在这样一个跨学科的话题中，将不同背景的人聚集在一起，以便他们能够讨论想法和发展交流，这是非常重要的。由于背景和侧重点不同，会议将围绕主要以生物功能为重点的会议展开。会议面向学生和博士后研究员以及知名研究人员。只为学生和博士后旅行申请资金。所有申请者将被要求提交一份摘要，其中大约60-70人将被选为10-20分钟的平台演讲，以及16名受邀的演讲者。目的是让所有其他与会者都有机会展示海报。摘要将整理成一本小册子，供所有与会者使用，但会议记录不会出版。***

9421544 Helfman The meeting is scheduled to be held at Cold Spring Harbor, April 26-30, 1995 and is expected to attract about 300 scientist working on various aspects of the cytoskeleton. This meeting will focus on the regulation and function of the cytoskeleton in various biological processes including actin filament assembly and dynamics, motile systems, microtubule assembly and dynamics, cell division and nuclear structure, intermediate filaments, molecular motors and intracellular trafficking, membrane-cytoskeleton interactions, and the cytoskeleton in development and differentiation. Various systems will be represented including yeast, Chlamydomonas, Dictyostelium, Drosophila, and vertebrates. The fundamental importance of the cytoskeleton in cellular functions renders the subject of interest to investigators from a wide number of disciplines including cell biologist, biochemists, molecular biologist, geneticist, and developmental biologists. The cytoskeleton crosses the boundaries of cell biology, molecular biology, developmental biology, eenetics and biochemistry; it is very important to bring people working in diverse areas together in one location where they can discuss ideas and develop communication. In consequence of this diverse background and emphasis, the meeting will encompass sessions which are focused primarily by biological function. Every attempt will be made to present as many of the experimental approaches being used to study the role of the cytoskeleton in cellular functions using biochemical, structural (crystallography, NMR), molecular, immunological, and genetic techniques. %%% This is a meeting which will focus on the regulation and function of the cytoskeleton in various biological processes including actin filament assembly and dynamics, motile systems, microtubule assembly and dynamics, cell division and nuclear structure, intermediate filaments, molecular motors and intracellular trafficking, membrane-cytoskeleton interaction , and the cytoskeleton in development and differentiation. It is scheduled to be held at Cold Spring Harbor, April 26th-30th, 1995 and is expected to attract about 300 scientists from a wide range of specialties including cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, ald developmental biology. In such a crossdiscipline topic, it is very important to bring people with these diverse backgrounds together so that they can discuss ideas and develop communication. In consequence of this diverse background and emphasis, the meeting will encompass sessions which are focused primarily by biological function. The meeting is intended for students and postdoctoral fellows as well as established investigators. Funding is only requested for student and post-doc travel. All applicants will be expected to submit an abstract of which approximately 60-70 will be selected for a 10-20 minute platform presentation along with 16 invited speakers. It is intended that all other attendees will have the opportunity to present posters. Abstracts will be collated into a booklet available to all participants, but proceedings will not be published. ***
