Conference update
June 27 - 29, 2011 Advances in the cellular and molecular biology of angiogenesis
Birmingham, UK Further information
Understanding angiogenesis (the growth of new blood vessels) is crucial to reduce morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease, alleviate developmental problems, and maximise reparative tissue remodelling. Of particular interest are those conditions where vascular growth is excessive (e.g. tumours) or insufficient (e.g. ischaemia). This meeting will emphasise an integrative approach to unravelling the molecular and cellular basis of angiogenesis. The likely focus will be on the control by vascular cell surface receptors, intracellular signalling pathways, cell proliferation, cell-cell interaction, and the functional consequences for health and disease. Recent progress in both technical and conceptual approaches are improving our understanding, and this meeting aims to facilitate cross-fertilisation of ideas among workers in related fields, but disciplines that rarely have the chance to interact.
