(Director: Pierre J. COURTOY) Two years after its first gathering
in Oeiras, Portugal, the European Endocytosis Group convened for a
second workshop at the Pasteur Institute, Paris, on October 1-5,
1990. The meeting is reported in detail in this volume; a
preliminary coverage, based on the overviews of each session, has
appeared in the New Biologist (1991, 3:243-252). The three main
objectives, to broaden the audience, to present a more
comprehensive view of the multiple aspects of endocytosis, from
basic biology to health, disease and therapy, as well as to clarify
controversial issues, have been largely fulfilled. The Second
European Workshop on Endocytosis was attended by more than tOO
participants, originating from 18 countries. 59 lectures and 35
posters were presented. In addition, vivi~ roundtables allowed to
thoroughly discuss the dynamics and the regulation of the endocytic
apparatus, as well as the role of endocytosis in antigen
presentation. Endocytosis is a general and distinctive property of
all eukaryotic cells, including protists, plants and fungi.
If you want practical information on how to use this book please
refer to "Note to the Readers" p. VII. Histochemistry and
cytochemistry are essential tools in biomedical research and
routine service laboratories. Most texts on histochemistry fall
into one of two categories: 1. Encyclopaedic texts covering all or
nearly all information available on the whole or selected parts of
histochemistry. 2. Reviews or surveys of methods found to be useful
by the author(s). While the former category often appeals to the
more philosophically inclined reader, direct guidance on the
selection of technique may be difficult to find. In contrast, the
latter category are often excellent sources for details on how to
perform a particular method with a reasonable chance of success.
Consideration of the exact mechanism of staining, of possible
reasons for failure, and of alternative techniques are, however,
frequently lacking. This book is an introduction to the scientific
basis of histochemistry and is intended to provide a background for
the selection and development of appro priate methods. It is not a
"cook book" and readers expecting exhaustive methodological
descriptions will be disappointed. Although most ofthe contributors
to this book would not describe themselves as histochemists, they
have all at some time found it essential to develop a basic
understanding of histochemistry. This book contains the information
they would have greatly appreciated ready access to at that time."
