Growth control and neoplastic transformation in the brain.

Abstract

For many scientists it is often difficult to predict which meetings, among the plethora convening each year, will be the most rewarding. A particular strength of the Zülch symposium was the lively exchange of novel findings and ideas among researchers tackling problems as diverse as photoreceptor cell development in Drosophila and the molecular basis of tumor metastasis. It is these small focused meetings which draw together molecular biologists, clinicians, and pathologists that bear the key to success. Both of us felt strongly that all participants took ideas back home. What else could we ask for? If Zülch had been granted the opportunity to come to Goslar, he would have enjoyed this symposium very much.
