| Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy: emerging concepts |
|
Scientific Conference at the University of Iceland in Reykjavik 8 - 11 August 2007.
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) has turned out to be not only a simple risk factor for hemorrhagic stroke but also directly influencing brain function and the development of dementia, including Alzheimer disease, ischemic vascular and mixed dementias. To cover this new wealth of information a virtual mini-symposium was recently published (see Brain Pathology, 2006, volume 16) and will now be followed up by a symposium on CAA in Iceland, where the first familial form of CAA was described in 1935. Confirmed invited speakers: Jorge Ghiso, USA Steven M. Greenberg, USA Anders Grubb, Sweden John Hardy, USA Mathias Jucker, Germany Efrat Levy, USA Marion Maat-Schieman, The Netherlands Harry Vinters, USA Masahito Yamada, Japan Organizing committee: Ástríður Pálsdóttir Elías Ólafsson Ásbjörg Ósk Snorradóttir Birkir Þór Bragason Preliminary sessions include the following: Animal models, Pathogenesis, Amyloid (Abeta, ACys, ATTR, AGel, ABri, ADan) formation and clearance, Genetics, Treatments, Epidemiology and risk factors, 3D structures of amyloid. |
