The AACR Annual Meeting is the focal point of the cancer research community, where scientists, clinicians, other health care professionals, survivors, patients, and advocates gather to share the latest advances in cancer science and medicine. From population science and prevention; to cancer biology, translational, and clinical studies; to survivorship and advocacy; the AACR Annual Meeting highlights the work of the best minds in cancer research from institutions all over the world.
In the past decade we have witnessed the birth and maturing of a field of research centering on the Ca2+ signaling functions of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), which structures and mechanisms of action are truly unique among all Ca2+ messengers. A wide range of physiological functions are now known to be mediated by them in cells spanning three biological kingdoms from protist, plant to animal. This is the first book devoted entirely to the field. The story behind the emergence of the field is told and followed by comprehensive reviews of the enzymology, regulations and gene structures of ADP-ribosyl cyclases responsible for metabolizing cADPR and NAADP. Also covered is some of the current methodology developed for and widely used in the field. The rest of the book focuses on and details the Ca2+ signaling mechanisms and specific physiological functions of these two messengers in various cellular systems.
No. 2, pt. 2 of November issue each year from v. 19 (1963)-47 (1970) and v. 55 (1972)- contain the Abstracts of papers presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology, 3d (1963)-10th (1970) and 12th (1972)-
In these proceedings for an October 2003 conference, contributors update topics and relevant issues in cancer research and clinical oncology, such as genetics, genomics, proteomics, signals and translational research in neuroectodermal timors, biomolecular surveying of cell signals, cell-to-cell communication, signals transduced by environmental and endogenous sex steroids, signals and molecular targets in human cancer tissues and cells, cell migration and adhesion, gene expression and silencing, and rational approaches to the design of therapeutics targeting molecular markers in hematologic malignancies. Topics of short papers include the induction of apoptosis and inhibition of cell growth in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells by COX-2 inhibitors and a report from a registry comparing rates of breast cancer in the city and province of Palermo.
