In the June 15th issue of G&D, Dr. Marie-Louise Hammarskjold (UVA) and colleagues lend new insight into the function of the Wilms' Tumor 1 tumor suppressor. The Wilms' Tumor 1 (WT1) protein is important to both normal and pathological human development, with known roles in kidney and urogenital formation as well as several human cancers. Dr. Hammarskjold and colleagues reveal that WT1...Nick Translation System from Invitrogen

A new strategy for fighting cancer aims to make its genes get lost in translation, according to a report published by Cell Press.// According to the researchers, such a therapy would essentially take advantage of a weakness of the disease: that the majority of growth- and proliferation-related proteins, which cancer depends upon, are encoded by "weak" messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Transcri...AMIA Announces 2008 Summit on Translational Bioinformatics
