Eicosanoids in inflammation: new findings
Symposium Chairs: S-E. Dahlén (Stockholm, Sweden), C. Page (London, United Kingdom)
Aims: The Nobel prize in physiology or medicine in 1982 was awarded to Bengt Samuelsson, Sune Bergström and John Vane for the discovery of prostaglandins and related compounds. Today, 25 years later, there continues to be important progress in the field with implications for clinical practice.
The aims of this special symposium will be:
• to provide an updated overview of the eicosanoid system;
• to provide new data on anti-inflammatory lipoxins and related compounds;
• to present novel data on the mode of action of NSAIDs in inflammation;
• to keep a slot open for late-breaking news during spring 2007.
