Dear colleagues,
This is a follow-up on the next conference of the Society for
Physical Regulation in Biology and Medicine (SPRBM) in Chicago, Oct. 9-12,
1996.
The Program Committee Chair (Prof. Subrata Saha) has asked me to
say that the ABSTRACT DUE DATE IS 31 MAY, not 10 May as was stated earlier.
This gives us all extra time to get in a contributed abstract.
If any of you are working in areas that relate to the control of
biological systems by physical forces (mechanical, electromagnetic,
ultrasound, thermal...), including cell mechanics, bone remodeling, growth
and repair stimulation, etc., this is where you have an opportunity to
share your new findings and/or get useful feedback and hot ideas for
tomorrows grant proposals.
ABSTRACT FORMAT and SUBMISSION: (by 31 MAY)
Use high quality, crisp type to allow photo-reproduction.
Title, bold and centered; below that, authors and affiliations,
centered.
500 word, single spaced abstract (right and left justified if
possible) with 1 inch margins on 8.5 x 11.0 inch paper.
One (1) page; a second page can be used to include figures and tables.
The abstract should be substantive and give results of original
work done.
SEND TO:
Soc. for Physical Regulation in Biology and Medicine
9650 Rockville Pike
Bethesda, Maryland 20814, U.S.A.

Remember also the 3 special instructive symposia with leading experts:
1. Mechanical factors on VERTEBRATE EVOLUTION (dinosaurs, etc.).
2. OSTEOARTHRITIS and physical forces.
3. MECHANICAL SIGNAL transduction in cells.
