| Invitation | |||||||||||||||||
| You are cordially invited to participate in the 3rd Beijing-Hong Kong Forum on Life Sciecnes with a theme on: Tissue Remodeling: Growth, Apoptosis, and Differentiation to be held in Tainan, Taiwan, October 21-22, 2002. This symposium, following two previous highly successful meetings in Beijing and Hong Kong, will cover different aspects of the most recent developments in tissue remodeling in different organs/tissues. Special attention will be paid to cell growth, apoptosis, and differentiation through plenary lectures and posters by scientists from the United States, Canada, Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. | |||||||||||||||||
