CONFERENCE ON ENDOTHELIUM

描述：（改编自应用程序）内皮细胞调节 细胞的移动（例如，白细胞和癌细胞），大分子（例如， 蛋白质，脂蛋白），溶质（例如，糖、电解质）和水 在血管内和血管外之间。 内皮细胞 特定的血管段（例如，动脉、毛细血管后小静脉），以及 组织（例如，脑、肺、肾）表现出结构和功能 这些解剖位置的特化特征。 本次会议 将探索调节细胞和分子的基本机制， 这些专业化和各种环境的途径， 因素和应激刺激（例如，缺氧，趋化因子，细胞因子，天然 和改变的基底膜蛋白，血管生成和血管生成抑制因子， 天然和修饰的脂蛋白，活化的白细胞，癌细胞，异种， 和同种异体器官移植），影响内皮细胞结构， 功能 在所有这些方面， 地区在过去几年。 通过安排本次会议与 会议“白细胞贩运的分子机制”的组织者 为研究人员之间的多学科交流创造了一个论坛 从事白细胞和内皮细胞的基础和应用方面的工作 生物学，同时为他们保留参加会议的机会， 与自己的研究特别相关的研讨会。

DESCRIPTION: (Adapted from the application) Endothelial cells regulate the movement of cells (e.g., leukocytes and cancer cells), macromolecules (e.g., proteins, lipoproteins), solutes (e.g., sugars, electrolytes), and water between intra- and extra-vascular compartments. Endothelial cells in specific vascular segments (e.g., artery, post-capillary venule), and tissues (e.g., brain, lung, kidney) exhibit structural and functional specializations characteristic of these anatomic locations. This meeting will explore the fundamental cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate these specialization's and the pathways by which a variety of environmental factors and stressful stimuli (e.g., hypoxia, chemokines, cytokines, native and altered basement membrane proteins, angiogenic and angiostatic factors, native and modified lipoproteins, activated leukocytes, cancer cells, xeno- and allogeneic organ transplantation), affect endothelial cell structure and function. There have been substantial advances in knowledge in all of these areas in the past few years. By scheduling this meeting concurrently with the meeting "Molecular Mechanisms of Leukocyte Trafficking" the organizers have created a forum for multidisciplinary exchange between investigators working on basic and applied aspects of leukocyte and endothelial cell biology, while preserving opportunities for them to participate in sessions and workshops of special relevance to their own research.
