Introduction - What is the relevance of this topic?
Knowledge of membrane dynamics and receptor-ligand related responses are critical to a complete understanding of many of the tissue-level and whole animal level observations made in physiologic, pharmaceutical and toxicological research. The outcome of this basic research can have significant implications in animal agriculture in terms of impact of disease states, toxin exposure, and use of pharmaceutical and natural products on various aspects of animal production. Can studies that further the understanding of the membrane trafficking and cell signaling relationship be applied to solve problems relevant to livestock production? How do disease states alter the trafficking-signaling interconnection? To answer these questions, the objective of this symposium is to address protein and lipid aspects of transport within a membrane, how functions may change as a result of a pathological state, and how this basic science can be used to further the needs of livestock at the production level.
