Proteoglycans - Development, Disease And Therapeutics

Proctor Academy, Andover, USA (July 11-16, 2010)

The goal of the 2010 Gordon Research Conference on Proteoglycans will be to bring together leading national and international scientists to present their latest findings in proteoglycan research.

Topics that will be discussed include mechanisms regulating the production and assembly of the proteoglycans core proteins as well as their turnover. The role of proteoglycans in development, skeletal pathology, cancer, stem cells, regenerative medicine, inflammation, cardiovascular disease, and angiogenesis will also be addressed.

The most recent progress within these areas with attention to the generation of both novel tracking assays and treatment regimens for diseases caused by abnormal proteoglycan function will be presented. Particular emphasis will be given to new insights into basic molecular mechanisms and to translational efforts designed to understand the role of proteoglycans in human disease as well as their use in prevention and novel therapeutics.
