The Blood Group Antigen Gene Mutation Database (BGMUT) was set up under the aegis of the Human Genome Variation Society (HGVS) in 1999. It documents variations in genes that encode antigens for human blood groups. It thus is a locus-specific mutation database (LSDB) that covers multiple genes. The database was compiled and has been curated by Olga O. Blumenfeld, PhD, Department of Biochemistry, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York, NY, and Santosh K. Patnaik, MD, PhD, Department of Thoracic Surgery, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo NY. In 2006, this website moved to the NCBI to become part of dbRBC where it has been under the direction and additional curatorship of Wolfgang Helmberg, MD, Department of Serology and Transfusion Medicine, Medical University of Graz, Austria. Many who are experts in the study of blood group systems have contributed to the development of this database by providing, among other things, information on the systems and the alleles. In addition to documenting genetic variations, this site also provides information on the blood group systems, the genes that encode them, the serological phenotypes, etc. Blood group systems for which genes or genetic variations have yet to be identified are also documented. For some systems, information on non-human orthologous genes is also made available. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Thirteenth International Conference on Endothelin will be held at Tokyo Campus of Tsukuba University in Tokyo, Japan, September 8-11, 2013. In the tradition of the meeting rotating between the continents the conference this time will be again held in Asia and will provide a forum for cutting-edge science in endothelin and endothelin receptor antagonism research and it will represent the 25th anniversary of the International Conferences on Endothelin since the first conference was held in in 1988 shortly after the discovery of endothelin at the University of Tsukuba. As an international biomedical research conference, ET conferences have been previously attended by several hundred scientists and clinicians from around the world. Continuing the meeting's tradition, novel findings on the role of endothelin and its receptors in molecular biology, development, pharmacology, general physiology, and pathophysiology will be presented. Most recent results from clinical trials of endothelin antagonism in patients will also be presented. ... [Information of the supplier]
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the Sixteenth International Conference on Endothelin (ET-16) from 22-25 September, 2019 to be held in Kobe, Japan. ET-16 will be a global conference where experts on Endothelin from academia and industry come together and where participants can share and enjoy high quality scientific discussions on all matters related to endothelin in basic and clinical research. ...

The American Physiological Society’s (APS) Seventeenth International Conference on Endothelin (ET-17) will be held live virtually October 4–7, 2021. This biennial event is the premier forum for scientists to meet and discuss recent research developments in endothelin (ET)—an amino acid chain secreted by vascular endothelial cells—as well as clinical applications of blocking the ET system and the use of ET as a biomarker for disease. ...
