This volume of Molecular Biology of Hematopoiesis is dedicated to
many inter national scientists and clinicians for their
contribution to the field of Hematology/ Oncology presented at the
11th International Symposium on Molecular Biology of Hematopoiesis,
which was held in Bormio, Italy, June 25-29, 1998. The continuous
support of the Presidents of the meeting, Professor F. Takaku,
President of Jichi University, and E. D. Thomas, Nobel Laureate,
was greatly acknowledged, especially Professor Takaku, for his
vision and support for development of gene therapy in Japan. New
information on BMT for autoimmune disease and organ transplantation
was presented at the symposium and is published in this volume.
Several new findings on gene therapy/transfer into HSC were
presented by E. F. Vanin and A. Nienhuis, K. Humphries, 1. A.
Nolta, H. E. Heslop, and M. K. Brenner. Professors S. Asano and K.
Tani presented new studies on gene transfer into primates. Among
the highlights were the new papers on gene transfer presented by G.
Wage maker, N. G. Abraham, and M. Onoderea from R. M. BJaese's
group. The use of BMT for organ transplant and autoim mune disease
was updated and a representative paper is presented in this
volume."
This volume of Molecular Biology of Hematopoiesis is dedicated to
John W. Adam son, M. D. , Tadamitsu Kishimoto, M. D. , Robert C.
Gallo, M. D. , Arthur W. Nienhuis, M. D. , and Franco Mandelli, M.
D. , for their contributions in developing an overall view of the
state-of-the-art knowledge in the field of hematopoiesis. Richard
Champlin, among other renowned clinicians, presented updated
information on stem cells and T-cell depletion for bone marrow
transplant. A clinical update on thrombopoietin was presented by
Pamela Hunt of Amgen and by Kenneth Kaushansky. Arthur Nienhuis'
and Katherine Turner's contribu tions to our current knowledge and
advances in the fields of growth factors and gene transfer were
also recognized during the 9th Symposium on Molecular Biology of
Hematopoiesis in Genoa. The chapters cover such diverse areas as
preclinical and clinical updates on growth factors and positive and
negative regulatory molecules. "Advances in Leukemia: Mechanism and
Treatment by Interferon" was presented by Professor Sante Tura.
Readers will find presentation of exciting advances that have
occurred in the area of hematopoiesis. The elucidation of gene
structures of key growth factor proteins such as IL-12 and IL-II
will lead to new insights and new approaches in understanding the
regulation of hematopoiesis, as well as application of new growth
factors.
