THIRD INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH WORKSHOP--ALOPECIA AREATA

第三届斑秃国际研究研讨会将带来 在这一领域工作的调查人员。这样做的目的是 会议的目的是回顾当前的知识状况并培养 进一步研究这种疾病的国际合作。这个 假设斑秃可能是由基因决定的， 器官特异性自身免疫性疾病针对毛囊和 由T细胞介导。因此，主旨演讲者被选为 小鼠分子拟态与遗传学研究进展 狼疮模型。要求提供资金，以帮助支付 特邀演讲者和实习生奖项，使年轻调查人员能够 或受训人员在这次会议上介绍他们的工作。研究报告 会议将集中讨论以下最新发展 斑秃的发病机制。第一，老鼠和动物的地位 再生障碍性贫血的免疫遗传学模型及最新研究进展 将在上午的会议上进行审查。下午的会议将是 针对再生障碍性贫血的遗传学和细胞因子在其中的作用 疾病。人类无毛基因和HOX基因的最新发现 将介绍毛发发育中的基因家族。那个晚上 会议将是海报讨论会议，其中将有新的工作 呈上了。

The Third International Research Workshop on Alopecia Areata will bring together investigators working in this field. The purpose of this conference is to review the current state of knowledge and foster international collaborations for further research on this disease. The hypothesis is that Alopecia Areata may be a genetically determined, organ specific autoimmune disease directed against the hair follicle and mediated by T cells. Keynote speakers have therefore been selected to review the areas of Molecular Mimecry and The Genetics of the Mouse Lupus Model. Funding is requested to help defray the costs of the invited speakers and the trainee awards to enable young investigators or trainees to present their work at this meeting. The Research conference will be focused on the following latest developments in the pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata. First, the status of mouse and animal models and the recent findings concerning the immunogenetics of AA will be reviewed in the morning session. The afternoon session will be directed towards the genetics of AA and the role of cytokines in this disease. The recent discovery of the human "hairless" gene and of Hox gene families in hair development will be presented. The evening session will be a poster discussion session in which new work will be presented.
