This year we're coming upon the tenth anniversary of our biannual International Workshop on the CCN family of genes. It was during our very first meeting that the International CCN Society was conceived. This editorial provides us with the opportunity to briefly review how the need for a CCN meeting emerged and evolved, following the discovery of CTGF, CYR61, and NOV, the three founding members of the CCN family of proteins that in humans are known as as CCN1 (CTGF), CCN2 (CYR61), CCN3(NOV), CCN4(WISP1), CCN5 (WISP2) and CCN6 (WISP3).
今年是我们两年一度的 CCN 家族基因国际研讨会的第十个年头。正是在我们的第一次会议上,国际 CCN 学会应运而生。这篇社论为我们提供了一个机会,简要回顾一下 CTGF、CYR61 和 NOV 的发现,这三个 CCN 家族蛋白的创始成员,在人类中被称为 CCN1(CTGF)、CCN2(CYR61)、CCN3(NOV)、CCN4(WISP1)、CCN5(WISP2)和 CCN6(WISP3),它们的出现和发展如何催生了对 CCN 会议的需求。
