β¦ Synopsis
The interest in hydroxycinnamates as bioactive components of the diet, as structural and functional components of plant cell walls, and as precursors for Γ½avours in the food industry has expanded rapidly in the last 5-10 years. As a result, the ΓΌrst ever international conference devoted solely to hydroxycinnamates (eg ferulate, p-coumarate, sinapate, caΓΎ eate), Ferulate '98, was held in Norwich (UK) on 9-11 July 1998. The purpose of the conference was to bring together academics and industrialists from a broad spectrum of backgrounds with an interest in all aspect of hydroxycinnamates. There were ΓΌve sections : Hydroxycinnamates in food-role in nutrition and health ; Hydroxycinnamates in plant cell walls ; Biosynthesis of hydroxycinnamates ; Enzymology of biosynthesis and degradation ; Exploitation of hydroxycinnamates. In this review the current state of the art is discussed and suggestions for future research which arose from this conference are given.

With the development of microsurgery and molecular biology in the 1990s, the mouse model for organ transplants has become increasingly popular. In the past 10 years, the number of studies using the mouse model has increased threefold. All the organ transplants, originally done in the rat model, can
