FOREFRONTS IN NEPHROLOGY

肾功能与肾脏疾病的研究尚未充分发挥作用 新的基本技术。具体地说，以医科大学为基础的肾病 分裂没有充分利用较新的细胞和分子 生物学。因此，国际肾脏病学会 组织召开系列会议，推动BASIC应用 研究肾功能正常与异常的研究方法。至 要做到这一点，第一次会议，题为“分子生物学和 肾脏“，将汇聚领先的基础研究人员和成熟的 和一群年轻而有前途的肾病学家 对肾脏感兴趣的调查人员。这次会议的目标是 让肾病社区接触到特定类型的研究，这些研究 成功地回答了重要的基本问题。这些新的 研究技术应有望适用于肾脏的问题。 到目前为止还没有人知道的研究。本次会议的形式包括 诺贝尔奖得主乔治·帕拉德博士题为《控制》的介绍性演讲 真核细胞的膜运输中的蛋白质“。 会议为期3天，每天举行2次会议。第一次会议将 寻址激素受体和信号产生，将包括3 扬声器。第二节题为“荷尔蒙的作用机制” 还将包括3个扬声器。第三和第四届会议是 题为《运输蛋白的分子生物学》。会话3将有3个 演讲者和会议4将有2名演讲者。第五届会议题为 “受体介导的内吞作用”，将包括2名演讲者。最后， 第六届会议称为“膜贩运和目标确定”，将 包括2个扬声器。每位演讲者将作45分钟的演讲 然后是45分钟的讨论时间。讨论将由以下人员领导 一位久负盛名的肾病学家，他已经熟悉了他的 演讲者的专业领域以及谁将组织讨论，以便 演讲者的信息可以集成到一般领域中 肾脏学研究。希望这次会议不仅将增加 肾病界对基础研究的认识，但 还将利用经过验证的方法提供具体的指导 在非肾脏研究方面取得成功。应该注意的是，16日的口头 被邀请的演讲者的演讲，以及整个讨论， 将以特刊形式出现在《国际肾脏》杂志上。

Research on renal function and renal disease has not taken full advantage of new basic techniques. Specifically, medical university-based nephrology divisions have not taken full advantage of newer cell and molecular biology. As a result, the International Society of Nephrology is organizing a series of meetings to stimulate the application of basic research techniques to the study of normal and abnormal renal function. To accomplish this, the first meeting, entitled "Molecular Biology and the Kidney", will bring together leading basic researchers with established investigative nephrologists and with a group of young and promising investigators interested in the kidney. The goal of this meeting is to expose the nephrology community to specific types of research that have been successful in answering important basic questions. These new techniques in research should hopefully be applicable to questions in renal research that are as yet unaswered. The format of this meeting includes an introductory lecture by Nobel Laureate Dr. George Palade entitled "Control of Protein in Membrane Traffic in Eukaryotic Cells". Following this, there will be 3 days of meetings with 2 sessions per day. The first session will address hormone receptors and signal generation and will include 3 speakers. The second session is entitled "Mechanisms of Hormone Action" and will also include 3 speakers. The third and fourth sessions are entitled "Molecular Biology of Transport Proteins". Session 3 will have 3 speakers and Session 4 will have 2 speakers. The fifth session is entitled "Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis" and will include 2 speakers. Finally, the sixth session is called "Membrane Trafficking and Targeting" and will include 2 speakers. Each speaker will make a 45-minute presentation to be followed by a 45-minute discussion period. The discussions will be led by an established academic nephrologist who has become familiar with his speaker's area of expertise and who will organize the discussion so that the speaker's message can be integrated into the general field of nephrology research. It is hoped that this meeting will not only increase awareness of the nephrology community with respect to basic research, but will also provide specific directions utilizing approaches that have proven successful in non-renal research. It should be noted that the 16 oral presentations by the invited speakers, as well as the entire discussion, will appear as a special issue of the journal Kidney International.
