描述：自那以后，胶原戈登会议每隔一年召开一次 1970年，因此，2001年会议将纪念其31周年。这个 胶原蛋白戈登会议是为研究胶原蛋白的研究人员举行的会议 结缔组织生物学和疾病的结构和病理学。主修 细胞外基质研究中的发现经常被报道为 第一次在基础生物学、发育和疾病方面参加这次会议 胶原蛋白。2001-2005年胶原-戈登会议上强调的疾病 将包括肌肉骨骼系统的疾病，肌肉骨骼的疾病 和皮肤，风湿病，纤维性疾病，肾脏疾病和 血管系统，以及衰老。胶原蛋白发育生物学的方方面面 和结构与眼睛的正常功能和疾病有关。在 在牙科研究领域，胶原蛋白在骨诱导中起着至关重要的作用 形成和牙齿结构。会议将强调新的信息 关于细胞外基质的结构、功能和组装 蛋白质，在发育过程中编码这些蛋白质的基因的调节， 胶原蛋白突变或基因的表型和代谢后果 在人类和转基因小鼠中的缺失以及个体胶原的作用 疾病中的表位。国际公认的结缔组织生物学家 以及即将到来的调查人员将被邀请展示他们最 令人兴奋的工作。这次会议提供了一个发展 知名科学家之间和知名科学家之间富有成效的合作 和新科学家；这些合作反过来又进一步加强了 该领域的科学进步。通过以下方式确保本次会议取得成功 最高水平科学家的参与和最高水平的介绍 创新研究，他们要求为2001、2003年的部分资金提供支持 和2005年的胶原戈登会议。这笔资金将用于部分 支付与会者的旅费和特邀演讲者的注册费 对于研究界的年轻成员来说。

DESCRIPTION: The Collagen Gordon Conference has convened every other year since 1970, consequently the 2001 Conference will mark its 31st anniversary. The Collagen Gordon Conference is a conference for investigators studying the structure and pathology of connective tissue biology and diseases. Major discoveries in extracellular matrix research have often been reported for the first time at this conference in the basic biology, development, and diseases of collagen. Diseases highlighted at the 2001-2005 Collagen Gordon Conferences will include disorders of the musculoskeletal system, disease of muscle bone and skin, rheumatic diseases, fibrotic diseases, diseases of the kidneys and vasculature, as well as aging. All aspects of collagen developmental biology and structure are relevant to normal function and diseases of the eye. In the area of dental research, collagen plays a vital role in the induction of bone formation and tooth structure. The conferences will emphasize new information regarding the structure, function and assembly of extracellular matrix proteins, the regulation of genes encoding these proteins during development, the phenotypic and metabolic consequences of collagen mutations or gene deletion in humans and transgenic mice, and the role of individual collagen epitopes in diseases. Internationally recognized connective tissue biologists as well as up and coming investigators will be invited to present their most exciting work. The conference has provided an opportunity for development of productive collaboration among established scientists and between established and new scientists; those collaborations have in turn further enhanced the scientific progress of the field. To ensure the success of this conference by participation of the highest caliber scientists and presentation of the most innovative research, they request funds for partial support of the 2001, 2003 and 2005 Collagen Gordon Conferences. The funds will be used to partially defray conferee travel expenses and registration fees for invited speakers and for young members of the research community.
