The Neuro Immuno Endocrinology of the Rheumatic Diseases is celebrating itsrapid growth. A study group on Neuro Endocrine Immunology founded in1999 at the American College of Rheumatology is now well estabilished andannually replicated.A new Clinical Section of the Neuro Endocrine Immunology of the RheumaticDiseases is forming within the International Society forNeuroImmunoModulation.Interesting issues such as volumes 976 (1999) and 966 (2002) of the Annals ofthe New York Academy of Sciences devoted to the Neuro Endocrine ImmuneBasis of the Rheumatic Diseases (1999), as well as the volumes 26 (2000) and31 (2005) of the Rheumatic Diseases Clinics of North America devoted toNeuroendocrine Mechanisms in Rheumatic Diseases have been now published.Finally, the Third International Conference looks as the “meeting point” for “old”and “new” friends to meet each other and to discuss in an exclusive event theirmutual interest and acquisition on the NeuroEndocrinoImmunology of theRheumatic Diseases.We thanks the supporters of the Conference for their fundamental help andwe are pleased of this achievement and hoping that the azure sky and Sea ofthe Ligurian Coast together with our wines and deliceous foods, will representthe best “cradle” for such a cosmopolitan scientific evenement.
