Conference - New York, United States
Over the past decade, researchers have produced data strongly suggesting that vitamin D and its metabolites contribute to a host of biological processes beyond the control of calcium and bone metabolism. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that the vitamin D receptor is expressed on a variety of cell types including lymphocytes, colonic cells, hepatocytes, and myocytes, including cardiac myocytes.
This 1-day conference will explore recent epidemiological data and the molecular mechanisms of action known to underlie the effects of vitamin D on pregnancy, lactation, and immune, metabolic, muscle, and cardiovascular function. Participants will also explore recent changes to vitamin D dietary guidelines as well as critical next steps in vitamin D research that will aid the translation of basic research and epidemiological data into public health strategies that support the health and well-being of infants, adults, and the aging population.

2012 30th NPS: Immunomodulation by Plant-Associated Organisms
Symposium - Fallen Leaf Lake, California, USA
The New Phytologist Trust is an independent, not-for profit organization dedicated to the promotion of plant science.
The Trust owns New Phytologist, a leading international journal that offers rapid publication of high-quality original research on all aspects of plant science. Excess revenue from sales of the journal are used to facilitate research and scholarship in plant science, in particular, through the organization of symposia to open access for our Tansley reviews.
