DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Lymphatic biology has recently experienced a dramatic growth. Enhanced techniques and new tools have facilitated a fresh approach to the study of lymphatics that has lead in short order to a greatly improved understanding of basic aspects of lymphatic physiology and pathophysiology. This application is designed to request support for the Second Gordon Research Conference to be held in Diablerets, Switzerland September 3-8, 2006. Dr. Kari Alitalo from the University of Helsinki, Finland, will serve as the chairman of this conference, Dr. Geert W. Schmid-Schonbein from the University of California, San Diego, is the vicechair. The conference facilitates scientific exchange between active lymphatic biologists, physiologists, biomedical engineers and physicians and provides a forum in which a broad dialogue surrounding scientific developments in this field will be discussed and new directions of future investigative efforts will be determined. Specific areas of investigation to be discussed are genetics of lymph diseases and lymphatic vs vascular development, biochemistry, biophysics and bioengineering of lymphatic function, immunology of lymph cells, cellular and molecular biology approaches to lymphatic studies, physiology and pharmacology, anatomy in areas such as vasculogenesis and lymphogenesis, lymphatic developmental biology, tissue engineering of lymphatic networks, cytoskeletal structure of lymphatic endothelium, interstitial and membrane signaling mechanisms as well as lymphatic pathology, inflammation and tumor biology. A roster of world leaders have agreed to participate in the conference to be arranged in the format of a Gordon Conference that is optimized for scientific exchange at the level of the most advanced understanding in the field. The conference plays an essential role in the advancement of lymphology and development of a new understanding of lymphatic diseases and treatments.

描述（由申请人提供）： 淋巴生物学最近经历了巨大的发展。增强的技术和新工具促进了淋巴管研究的新方法，从而在短时间内大大提高了对淋巴管生理学和病理生理学基本方面的理解。本申请旨在请求对2006年9月3-8日在瑞士迪亚布勒雷举行的第二届戈登研究会议的支持。来自芬兰赫尔辛基大学的Kari Alitalo博士将担任本次会议的主席。来自加州大学圣地亚哥分校的 Geert W. Schmid-Schonbein 担任副主席。 该会议促进了活跃的淋巴生物学家、生理学家、生物医学工程师和医生之间的科学交流，并提供了一个论坛，围绕该领域的科学发展进行广泛的对话，并确定未来研究工作的新方向。将讨论的具体研究领域包括淋巴疾病遗传学和淋巴与血管发育、淋巴功能的生物化学、生物物理学和生物工程、淋巴细胞免疫学、淋巴研究的细胞和分子生物学方法、生理学和药理学、解剖学等领域血管生成和淋巴生成、淋巴发育生物学、淋巴网络组织工程、淋巴内皮细胞骨架结构、间质和膜信号传导机制以及淋巴病理学、炎症和肿瘤生物学。一些世界领导人已同意参加将以戈登会议的形式安排的会议，该会议针对该领域最先进的理解水平的科学交流进行了优化。该会议在淋巴学的进步以及对淋巴疾病和治疗的新认识的发展方面发挥着至关重要的作用。
