项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial support for an international meeting on Insulin-like Growth Factors in Physiology and Disease as part of the Gordon Research Conference series, and will be held in Ventura, California during March 22 - 27, 2009, with subsequent meetings in 2011 and 2013. The Broad and Long-term Goals of the conference are to increase our understanding of the fundamental mechanisms controlling the actions of these proteins in human biology and disease. The Specific Aims of this meeting will be to convene 25 speakers who will represent critical areas of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) research with a total of 135 participants for a five-day conference in a relatively isolated setting. The program will have a keynote address and eight sessions, which will address current issues in IGF biology as they pertain to aging and age-related diseases, regenerative medicine, cancer (including tumorigenesis, cancer progression, and targeted therapeutics), cardiovascular biology (including control of vascular smooth muscle development and pathology, and regulation of myocardial hypertrophy), metabolic regulation (specifically signal transduction pathways controlling intermediary metabolism), and other aspects of the expression and function of IGFs, their receptors, and binding proteins in normal physiology and human disease. In addition, four afternoon poster sessions will permit all participants to contribute to these topics. The Significance of this application is that the Gordon Research Conference on Insulin-like Growth Factors in Physiology and Disease is a critical component of regular meetings that propels research in the international IGF scientific community. The Health Relatedness of this application is that discussions at this Gordon Research Conference will define key questions that require experimental resolution in areas that affect human development and aging, regeneration and repair of bone, skeletal muscle, and other tissues, cancer therapy, cardiac and vascular development and disease, and the control of glucose, fat, and amino metabolism in normal physiology and disease. The Health Relatedness of this application is that the cutting edge scientific discussions at this Gordon Research Conference will define the key questions that will require experimental resolution in areas of IGF research that affect human development and aging, the regeneration and repair of bone, skeletal muscle, and other tissues, cancer therapy, cardiac and vascular development and disease, and the control of glucose, fat, and amino acid metabolism. The results of these discussions will be to focus scientists on understanding normal physiological mechanisms of IGF action, on defining and understanding pathophysiological pathways, and on developing new therapies.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案要求部分支持生理学和疾病的国际会议，作为戈登研究会议系列的一部分，并将在2009年3月22日至27日在加利福尼亚州的文图拉举行，随后在2011年和2013年举行了对人类疾病的广泛和长期目标的基础，并将其构成基础的理解，并在2013年举行了良好的目标。这次会议的具体目的是召集25位演讲者，他们将代表类似胰岛素的生长因子（IGF）研究的关键领域，共有135名参与者在相对孤立的环境中进行为期五天的会议。该计划将有一个主题演讲和八个课程，该计划将解决IGF生物学中的当前问题，因为它们与衰老和与年龄有关的疾病有关控制中介代谢的途径以及正常生理和人类疾病中IGF，其受体和结合蛋白的表达和功能的其他方面。此外，四个下午的海报会议将使所有参与者都可以为这些主题做出贡献。该应用的重要性是，戈登（Gordon）在生理和疾病中类似胰岛素样生长因素的研究会议是推动国际IGF科学界研究的常规会议的关键组成部分。该应用的健康相关性是，在本戈登研究会议上的讨论将定义关键问题，这些问题需要在影响人类发育和衰老，骨骼，骨骼肌的再生和修复领域的实验分辨率，骨骼肌肉以及其他组织，癌症治疗，心脏和血管发育和疾病，以及对葡萄糖，脂肪，脂肪，脂肪，脂肪和氨基代谢在正常生理学和疾病中的控制。该应用的健康相关性是，在本戈登研究会议上的尖端科学讨论将定义需要在影响人类发展和衰老的IGF研究领域的实验问题，骨骼肌肉，其他组织的再生和修复，其他组织，癌症治疗，癌症治疗，心脏和血管发育和疾病以及glucose glucose glucose，Fatucose，fat and and fat，fat，fat，Amino andir and Ictial and Ictial and Air Ictial and Ictial and Ictial and cance。这些讨论的结果将是将科学家集中在理解IGF作用的正常生理机制，定义和理解病理生理途径以及开发新疗法上。
