MicroRNAs in Breast Cancer by Marc Lacroix InTextoResearch, Baelen, Wallonia, Belgium. in Breast Cancer: Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment, Nova Sciences Publishers, ISBN 978-1-60876-463-1 (2010). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a recently discovered class of small regulatory RNAs that influence the stability and translational efficiency of target mRNAs. Alterations in miRNA expression are associated with an increasing number of biological processes, including breast cancer. Some miRNAs are down-regulated in breast tumors, such as miR-21, miR-155, miR-373, and miR-520c, and appears as putative tumor suppressors. Other miRNAs are up-regulated, such as miR-126, and miR-145, and members of the let-7 family; functional studies support their oncogenic nature. miRNAs associated with estrogen receptor expression and function, such as miR-181, miR-206, miR-221 and miR-222, have also been identified. Of peculiar interest are miRNAs (miR-200 family members, miR-205) involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process that is likely to play an important role in cancer cell metastasis. Functional assays and the developpement of highly sensitive methods to detect miRNAs will undoubtedly lead to rapid advances in a field that could considerably change our vision of breast cancer biology. MicroRNAs examined: let-7a, let-7b, let-7c, let-7d, let-7e, let-7g, let-7i, let-7f, miR-7, miR-9, miR-10, miR-15 & miR-16, miR-17 and the miR~17~92 cluster, miR-20, miR-21, miR~23a~27a~24-2 & miR~23b~27b~24-1 clusters, miR-26, miR-29, miR-30, miR-31, miR-34, mir-98, mir-103, mir-107, mir~106a~363 & mir~106b~25 clusters, miR-122, mir-124, mir-125, miR-126, mir-127, miR-128, miR-130, miR-140, miR-141, miR-145, miR-146, miR-148, miR-152, miR-155, miR-181, mir-196, miR-200 family, miR-205, miR-206, miR-210, miR-213, miR~222~221 cluster, miR-224, miR-320, miR-335, miR-342 , miR-365, miR-373, miR-429, miR-489, miR-497, miR-499, miR-516, miR-520, miR-663 From kar.sanchayita from gmail.com Thu Dec 17 22:41:53 2009 From: kar.sanchayita from gmail.com (Sciclips) Date: Fri Dec 18 08:56:18 2009 Subject: [Bioforum] Stem cell patents & research news (12/17/09) Message-ID: Stem cells: US Patent/patent applications 1.

For reference, the recent IAENG post conference edited books include titles like for example: Trends in Intelligent Systems and Computer Engineering, Advances in Communication Systems and Electrical Engineering, and Advances in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research by Springer. The IMECS 2010 is organized by the International Association of Engineers (IAENG), a non-profit international association for the engineers and the computer scientists. The conference has the focus on the frontier topics in the theoretical and applied engineering and computer science subjects. The IMECS conferences serve as good platforms for our members and the entire engineering community to meet with each other and to exchange ideas. Our IMECS committees have been formed with over two hundred and sixty committees members who are mainly research center heads, faculty deans, department heads, professors, and research scientists from over 30 countries. The last IMECS 2009 has attracted more than one thousand participants from over 50 countries. The IMECS 2010 is composed of the following 13 conferences (all will be held at the same location and date): ICAIA=9210 The 2010 IAENG International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Applications ICB=9210 The 2010 IAENG International Conference on Bioinformatics ICCA=9210 The 2010 IAENG International Conference on Control and Automation ICCS=9210 The 2010 IAENG International Conference on Computer Science ICCSA=9210 The 2010 IAENG International Conference on Communication Systems and Applications ICDMA=9210 The 2010 IAENG International Conference on Data Mining and Applications ICEE=9210 The 2010 IAENG International Conference on Electrical Engineering ICIE=9210 The 2010 IAENG International Conference on Imaging Engineering ICINDE=9210 The 2010 IAENG International Conference on Industrial Engineering ICICWS=9210 The 2010 IAENG International Conference on Internet Computing and Web Services ICOR=9210 The 2010 IAENG International Conference on Operations Research ICSC=9210 The 2010 IAENG International Conference on Scientific Computing ICSE=9210 The 2010 IAENG International Conference on Software Engineering =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Submission: IMECS 2010 is now accepting manuscript submissions. Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft paper in full paper (any appropriate style) to imecs{at}iaeng.org by 12 January, 2010. The submitted file can be in MS Word format, PS format, or PDF formats. The first page of the draft paper should include: (1) Title of the paper; (2) Name, affiliation and e-mail address for each author; (3) A maximum of 5 keywords of the paper. Also, the name of the conference that the paper is being submitted to should be stated in the email. It is our target that the reviewing process and the result notification for each submitted manuscript can be completed within one month from its submission. The reviewing process is to ensure the quality of the accepted papers in the congress. The conferences have enjoyed high reputation among many research colleagues ( for example, see the http://cs.conference-ranking.net/ or http://www.conference-ranking.= com/ or http://www.conference-ranking.org/cs.html ).
