CEREBRAL VASCULAR BIOLOGY CONFERENCE

在过去的三十年里，血脑屏障一直是一个 越来越活跃的调查领域， 学习，特别是从解剖学和生理学的角度来看。 然而，与脑血管系统及其在血液中的作用一样重要的是， 大脑运输是大脑功能，很少有人知道在分子 负责运输的大分子水平，所扮演的角色 通过血管壁成分（内皮细胞，周细胞，平滑肌， 基底膜），调节血脑蛋白的机制 表达或其在发育和疾病期间的分子改变。 脑血管生物学（CVB）会议的总体目标 （1）利用新的研究成果来审查这一领域的研究成果， 涉及细胞和分子技术的方法，2）提供一个 论坛在一个有利于创造新的和新鲜的见解的环境 脑血管壁的功能和调节，以及3） 促进受训人员、新调查人员和专家参与 在一个开放和自由的领域交流他们的观点和想法。 实现 这些目标，为期三天的会议将在Fitger's Inn举行 （会议中心）在杜卢斯，明尼苏达州，1992年7月11日至13日。 两个原因 使这次会议特别及时。 首先，细胞和 研究脑血管的分子方法 越来越多的神经科学家认识到。 第二，没有一个 特别是关于血脑屏障的国际会议， 继Brain 89（意大利博洛尼亚）之后，在法国举行了卫星专题讨论会。 一 国际公认专家科学咨询委员会， 制定最终的科学计划。 的主要参与者 会议将包括委员会确定的科学家， 有新的和新颖的发现报告，其研究与 科学计划的目标，以及其研究是 最高的质量标准。 观众将主要包括 科学家（M.D.（PhD）他们正在进行基础研究， 脑血管系统中的运输机制。 的估计人数 注册人数在50至100人之间，费用估计是根据 注册75 初步计划提供33个平台 介绍。 如果有更多的摘要 提交后，将合并一系列平行的海报会议， 容纳过剩。 科学界正在了解 通过直接邮件和神经科学的公告 期刊 一种迅速有效的传播会议记录的手段， 正在寻求向科学界介绍这次会议的情况。 理想情况下， 与出版商的安排将允许提交一组短（3-4 页）的论文，这些论文将经过同行评审并作为特刊出版 或对现有期刊的补充。

Over the past thirty years, the blood-brain barrier has been an increasingly active area of investigation and a great deal has been learned, particularly from an anatomical and physiological point of view. However, as important as the cerebral vasculature and its role in blood- brain transport is to brain function, very little is known at the molecular level about the macromolecules responsible for transport, the roles played by vascular wall components (endothelial cell, pericyte, smooth muscle, basement membrane), the mechanisms regulating blood-brain protein expression, or their molecular alterations during development and disease. The overall objectives of the Cerebral Vascular Biology (CVB) conference are: 1) to examine the results of research in this field using new approaches involving cellular and molecular technology, 2) to provide a forum in a conducive environment for creation of new and fresh insights into the function and regulation of the brain vascular wall, and 3) to foster the participation of trainees, new investigators, and experts in the field in an open and free exchange of their views and ideas. To achieve these objectives, a three-day conference will be conducted at Fitger's Inn (conference center) in Duluth, Minnesota, on July 11-13, 1992. Two reasons make this meeting especially timely. First, the importance of cellular and molecular approaches to studying the brain vasculature is being increasingly recognized by neuroscientists. Second, there has not been an international meeting specifically on the blood-brain barrier since a satellite symposium in France following Brain 89 (Bologna, Italy). A Scientific Advisory Committee of internationally recognized experts if formulating the final scientific program. Key participants in the conference will include scientists who are identified by the Committee to have new and novel findings to report and whose studies are consistent with the objectives of the scientific program, and whose research is of the highest standard of quality. The audience will consist primarily of scientists (both M.D. and Ph.D.) who are conducting basic research on transport mechanisms in the cerebral vasculature. The estimated number of registrants is between 50 and 100 and cost estimates are based on a registration of 75. The preliminary program provides for 33 platform presentations. In the event that substantially more abstracts are submitted, a parallel series of poster sessions will be incorporated to accommodate the excess. The scientific community is being informed about this conference by direct mail and by announcements in neuroscience journals. A quick and effective means of disseminating the proceedings of the conference to the scientific community is being sought. Ideally, an arrangement with a publisher will allow submission of a group of short (3-4 pages) papers that will be peer-reviewed and published as a special issue or supplement to an existing journal.
