NIDDK Organ Smooth Muscle: Development, Physiology, and Pathology

The NIDDK announces a 2-day workshop about the development, physiology, and pathology of organ smooth muscle. The workshop will be held at the National Institutes of Health Neuroscience Building in Rockville, MD, March 24–25, 2009, and will address current research about the biology of smooth muscle in organs and organ systems, as well as future smooth muscle research needs. The workshop will bring together investigators working on a variety of systems to stimulate discussion about research for future therapies to address organ dysfunction related to altered smooth muscle biology. For more information about the workshop, go to www3.niddk.nih.gov/fund/other/smoothmuscle.
