<p>Dear colleague, <br /> <br />Could I kindly inform you about the organization of a molecular and cellular biology meeting at the<br /> European Conference Center in Luxembourg entitled : <br /> </p> APOPTOSIS WORLD 2008 - From mechanisms to applications <br /> January 23 - 26, 2008 <br /> http://www.transduction-meeting.lu <br /><p> <br />Also in 2008: For more than 4 participants of the same group, special registration rates apply (see website for details). Again, we will be able to accept up to 900 participants.</p>For each meeting, we will select a number of additional speakers for oral presentations.Speakers are invited to contribute to a regular number issue of Biochemical Pharmacology ; peer-reviewed process (referenced by Medline, ISI-Current Contents);Speakers and authors of posters are invited to submit papers for a future volume of th! e Annals of the New York Acad Sci ; peer-reviewed process (Medline, ISI Current Contents); abstracts and full text will also be published in the Annals Online) <br /><p> <br />Please check our website (http://www.transduction-meeting.lu) for previous: </p> abstract books (free downloads)volumes of the Annals of the New York Academy of SciencesBiochemical Pharmacology numbersmeeting photos <br /><p> <br />Looking forward to meeting you in Luxembourg, <br />Yours sincerely, <br />Dr. Marc Diederich <br /> <br />------------------- <br />Regular registration fee is 350 Euro and 150 Euro for students. For each regular participant or student a second member of the same group registers free (1+1). <br />See web site for details. <br />------------------- <br />1 REGISTRATION = TWO PARTICIPANTS <br />(1 participant + 1 participant or student from the same group) <br />(offer valid from October 1 - November 30, 2007) <br />------------------- <br />Reduced registration deadline : N! ovember 30st 2007 <br />Abstract and registration deadline : December 31st 2007 <br />(or whenever the meeting is sold out) <br />----------------- <br /> <br />OUR MAIN TOPICS INCLUDE: </p>Cell death and developmentMitochondria as regulators of apoptosisApoptotic signal transduction pathwaysOvarian Cell DeathCaspasesTranscriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of apoptosisCell death and cardiovascular diseasesGlutathione and ApoptosisApoptosis in health and diseaseCell death and blood diseasesApoptosis and chromatin structurePharmacology of ApoptosisInhibitors and activators of apoptosisReceptors as cell death mediatorsCell death and cardiovascular diseasesp53Cell death and the cell cycleApoptosis and tissulary functionsCell death in neurodegenerative diseasesNovel technical approaches in apoptosisInfection induced apoptosisApoptosis and oxidative stressOther ... <br /><p> <br />----------------- <br />SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM (all speakers confirmed): <br /> <br />KEYNOTE LECTURE <br />Doug Green (La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunolo! gy, USA): <br />Matters of Life and Death <br /> <br />FACULTY <br />Bharat B.
