Abstract
The FASEB Summer Research Meeting entitled “Extra-Nuclear Steroid Receptors: Integration with Multiple Signaling Pathways,” was held from July 27 through August 1, 2008 in Carefree, Arizona. The meeting served as an excellent opportunity for scientists interested in both nuclear and extra-nuclear steroid signaling to exchange ideas in a relatively small, informal setting. The meeting began with a short talk by Richard Pietras (University of California at Los Angeles) on the history of extra-nuclear, or nongenomic, steroid signaling. His presentation covered work from the 1970s up to the present, and served as a wonderful introduction to the field. After Dr. Pietras, Margaret Shupnik (University of Virginia) presented the keynote lecture on the integration of membrane and nuclear receptor functionality. The talk focused on the role of membrane-initiated kinase cascades in regulating nuclear steroid receptor signaling, and introduced many important concepts that were addressed throughout the meeting.
