Still more questions than answers: report on the 5th International Symposium on Insulin-like Growth Factors, Brighton, UK, 31 October-4 November 1999.
The diverse backgrounds of the 550 scientists attending the 5th International Symposium on IGFs reflected the increasingly multidisciplinary approach to the field of insulin-like growth factor research. The presentations covered every aspect of the regulation, structure, physiology and pathology of not only IGF-I and IGF-II, but also their cell receptors and intracellular-signalling components, their specific-binding proteins (IGFBPs), as well as factors that bind to or modify these IGFBPs.
