DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request funds to support the 6th Biannual Conference on Cell Death, to be held at Angra dos Reis, Brazil June 02-05 2006. The theme of the conference will be "Cell Cycle and Cell Death in Aging, Cancer and Immune Related Diseases". Programmed cell death and apoptosis are important in several disciplines, including immunology, oncology, neurology, infectious diseases, cardiac infarct and stroke, reproductive biology, teratology, and environmental medicine. A major goal of our society is to maintain a fruitful and synergistic dialog among these disciplines. In this conference we will focus on cell cycle alterations and the mechanisms of cell death induction and survival. Our meeting-associated training course will introduce the main recent findings on Cell Cycle, Cell Death and Aging. We will address and correlate the mechanisms of cell cycle and cell death pathways with age-related pathologies, such as neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, cell cycle and cancer. We will maintain focus on the potential of these findings for therapy and the relationship of laboratory to clinical data. Sensitivity to apoptosis is frequently tightly linked to both cell cycle and the presence or absence of growth factors, both of which vary strongly with age; and the ability of cells to die only at appropriate physiological times is a major factor of both proliferative and degenerative diseases of aging. Our record of equality in ethnic and gender distribution among speakers is excellent (estimated 1/3 this year), as is our accommodation for specific needs. We will take direct steps to continue and enhance this record. We also have an excellent record of supporting and featuring upcoming junior scientists at these meetings. This conference will be a unique opportunity to gather scientists from the USA, Europe and South America. We have published 2 Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences from these meetings, and the last meeting served as a basis for the organization of the second edition of When Cells Die (Wiley-Liss). We expect that this meeting will lead to further publications. We are currently negotiating publication arrangements. NIH funds will be used to support speakers and facilities. Future meetings in France and China are planned.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们请求资金支持将于 2006 年 6 月 2 日至 5 日在巴西安格拉杜斯雷斯举行的第六届细胞死亡双年度会议。会议的主题是“衰老中的细胞周期和细胞死亡” 、癌症和免疫相关疾病”。程序性细胞死亡和细胞凋亡在多个学科中都很重要，包括免疫学、肿瘤学、神经学、传染病、心肌梗死和中风、生殖生物学、畸胎学和环境医学。我们社会的一个主要目标是在这些学科之间保持富有成效和协同的对话。在本次会议中，我们将重点关注细胞周期的改变以及细胞死亡诱导和存活的机制。我们的会议相关培训课程将介绍有关细胞周期、细胞死亡和衰老的最新主要发现。我们将探讨细胞周期和细胞死亡途径的机制，并将其与年龄相关的病理学联系起来，例如神经退行性疾病和心血管疾病、细胞周期和癌症。我们将继续关注这些发现的治疗潜力以及实验室与临床数据的关系。对细胞凋亡的敏感性通常与细胞周期和生长因子的存在或不存在紧密相关，这两者都随着年龄的变化而发生很大变化。细胞仅在适当的生理时间死亡的能力是增殖性和退行性衰老疾病的主要因素。我们在演讲者的种族和性别分布方面的平等记录非常出色（预计今年为 1/3），我们对特定需求的照顾也是如此。我们将采取直接措施来继续并提高这一记录。我们在这些会议上支持和介绍即将到来的初级科学家方面也有着出色的记录。这次会议将是一个聚集来自美国、欧洲和南美洲的科学家的独特机会。我们出版了这些会议的两份《纽约科学院年鉴》，最后一次会议成为组织第二版《细胞死亡时》（Wiley-Liss）的基础。我们预计这次会议将导致进一步的出版物。我们目前正在协商出版安排。 NIH 的资金将用于支持演讲者和设施。计划未来在法国和中国举行会议。
