from UroToday.com by  Zachary Klaassen, – Professor Manfred Wirth from Germany provided an update on the future of biomarkers and genomics at this afternoon’s EAU Update in Prostate Cancer in Vienna, Austria. Dr. Wirth divided his presentation into three subsections: Why are biomarkers needed for prostate cancer? There are several reasons according to Dr. Wirth why biomarkers are needed for prostate cancer, ...

The recent discovery of new classes of RNAs and the demonstration that alterations in RNA metabolism underlie numerous human cancers have resulted in enormous interest among CCR investigators in RNA Biology. In order to share the latest research in this exciting field, the CCR Initiative in RNA Biology held its second international symposium April 23-24, 2017, in Natcher Auditorium. With ...

Since the discovery of the catalytic role of RNAs three decades ago and the discovery of microRNAs two decades ago, the field has exploded with exciting new developments, many made possible by groundbreaking new technologies. Watch this lively panel discussion moderated by Frank Slack and then ask the panelists your questions. Among other topics, the discussion will focus on: How ...

Infections are an intricate interplay between hosts and pathogens involving dynamic changes in gene expression. This does not only involve changes in the expression of protein coding genes but also of large diverse groups of non-coding RNAs in the host and pathogens. However, in the vast majority of cases the biological roles and mechanisms of action of non-coding RNAs remain ...

from Science by Elizabeth Pennisi Surveys have uncovered thousands of long non-coding RNAs, molecules longer than 200 bases, and several groups have linked specific ones to development, cancer, pain, inflammation, and much more. There are lingering questions, however, about whether most of these molecules are functional or just spurious byproducts of transcription. At the recent Biology of Genomes meeting, several ...

Dr. Xiaohua Shen, Associate Professor Tsinghua University, Beijing, China Wednesday, June 25, 2014 – 11:00am CCBR Red Room Abstract: Pervasive transcription in mammalian genome produces thousands of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) transcripts. It has been hypothesized that lncRNAs as versatile modulators regulate diverse aspects of biology. However, their biological significance remains skeptical due to healthy concerns of subtle phenotypic differences ...
