Zusammenfassung: Welcome to the 2008 International Symposium on Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU8). This event is intended to provide a major forum for clinicians, basic scientists, and engineers working on all aspects of therapeutic ultrasound to exchange ideas and present their latest results. The meeting will be held September 10 – 13, 2008 at the Hilton Minneapolis Hotel, 1001 Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55403.

Since their inception in 2001, the ISTU meetings have been strengthened by participation from the therapeutic ultrasound industry. In addition, the meetings have been truly international with well-balanced participation from North America, Europe, and Asia. The organizers of ISTU8 hope to maintain this strong international participation as well as the blend of clinical and basic research contributions to the technical program. The symposium will include three days of technical sessions featuring plenary talks; special sessions with both invited and contributed presentation

Zusammenfassung: In this conference the role of inorganic colloidal nanoparticles in the life sciences will be discussed. Chemists, physicists, and engineers can synthesis particles with high precision and tailored properties, but they are often not aware of the precise nature of biological problems. On the other hand, biologically motivated scientists are bound to solve their problems with commercially available particles, which still fall behind to the state-of-the-art particles available in modern materials research concerning their homogeneity and defined properties. For this reason the conference attempts to cover the whole interdisciplinary range starting from the chemical synthesis of functional colloidal nanoparticles, the characterization of their physical properties, the design of appropriate interfaces to biology, until their use as in vitro sensors and in vivo labels in life sciences, and diagnostics in medicine.

Zusammenfassung: This meeting is designed to bring together scientists from all over the world who have been involved in research interest in the broad area of exercise physiology. The meeting is designed to provide a strong scientific program with participant interaction and emphasize emerging research performed by young investigators. The participants will likely focus on recent important advances in the traditional areas of interest in exercise (e.g. metabolic control, cell signaling, satellite/stem cells biology, hypertrophy, vascular adaptations) as well as significant new developments in emerging areas of science that have great relevance to investigators interested in exercise (e.g. mechanical signal transduction, AMPK, cytokines). The goal is to provide an in-depth understanding of exercise physiology and interdisciplinary efforts to assess its impact on the systems of the body.

Zusammenfassung: This years Chemical Nanotechnology Talks IX, ”Bio meets Nano“, sets its focus on interfaces between nanotechnology and the biologically relevant sciences such as biotechnology, biology and medicine, pharmacology and toxicology. Chip technology, biocidic surfaces and anti-fouling but also improved biocompatibility of materials are some of the topics that will be covered by this years Chemical Nanotechnology Talks (CNT IX). The presentations will cover recent results of this emerging interdisciplinary field. As in previous years, the poster party will provide you with sufficient time for discussion at the posters and with colleagues as an integral part of CNT. This creates a brilliant opportunity for networking with old and new friends. Introduced in the last years we will have a poster prize again, awarded not only with an amount of money but also connected with the opportunity for the poster prize winner, to present her or his work at the second day of CNT IX with a 15 min. short lecture. The best posters will be elected by the scientific committee.

Zusammenfassung: Modern cell biology has made great strides in understanding cell structure and function. As with any engineering problem, however, there is a third important aspect that needs to be understood besides structure and function, and that is assembly. How are the complex three dimensional structures found within the cell specified by a one-dimensional genome? In this session we will explore the mechanisms by which cellular structures are determined and regulated. Because this question lies at the interface of biology and physics, we have put together a highly interdisciplinary session with speakers whose interests range from soft matter physics and mathematical modeling to imaging and cell biology.
