Meeting report of the International Symposium of Molecular Cell Biology of Macrophages '94.
The International Symposium of Molecular Cell Biology of Macrophages '94 was held on February 10-11, 1994 at Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Japan. Fifteen speakers including 4 speakers from Europe and the United States were invited to this symposium. In spite of unusual heavy snow and chilly weather, 150 macrophage scientists gathered and had hot discussions. In the meeting reception, a special recognition speech entitled "Dawn of Cytokines--Discovery of a Blastogenic Factor in the Early 1960's" was given by a discoverer of blastogenic factor, Dr. Shinpei Kasakura. This symposium was initiated in 1991 with the intention of bringing together experts of macrophage investigation once a year to discuss progress in the field of molecular cell biology of macrophages.
