Barcelona, Spain
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of MDPI and the journal Cancers, we would like to invite you to participate in the conference "CancersScape: Spatial Biology of the Tumor Ecosystem", to be held in Barcelona, Spain, from November 5–7, 2025.
This two-and-a-half day-conference will bring together researchers and experts in the field of multi-omics and spatial biology from academia and biotech companies to discuss the latest development, and the application of these platforms to explore and dissect the tumor ecosystem. It is a must-attend conference for anyone who are interested in applying the spatial biology platforms in cancer diagnosis and treatment.
We invite you to participate in this dynamic, interdisciplinary forum by submitting abstracts for posters or short talks related to the conference themes. Cancers 2025 promises a stimulating environment where you can present your research, engage in insightful discussions, and connect with fellow experts.
We look forward to welcoming you to Barcelona.
Sincerely,
Dr. Sammy Ferri-Borgogno, Professor Samuel C. Mok & Dr. Eduard Porta-Pardo

Non-coding RNAs comprise several categories, such as ribosomal and transfer RNAs, small nuclear and nucleolar RNAs, microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, circular RNAs, etc. microRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded, small non-coding RNA molecules that epigenetically regulate gene expression, mostly through binding to the 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR) of targeted messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules. Hence, they can mediate translational repression, usually combined with or followed by mRNA degradation. The human genome can produce more than a thousand different miRNAs, which regulate approximately 70% of protein-coding genes, thereby controlling the activity and function of key signaling pathways and cellular processes. These include cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell differentiation, and response to hypoxia. Additionally, miRNAs can function either as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. However, during the last decade, it has emerged that mutations and the dysregulation of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expression may significantly contribute to numerous human diseases. Alterations in the primary structure, secondary structure, and expression levels of lncRNAs and their cognate RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have been shown to underlie the pathobiology of cancer, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases. As recent studies have suggested, the involvement of lncRNAs in human diseases could be far more prevalent than previously thought. From a clinical perspective, some miRNAs and lncRNAs can also serve as molecular biomarkers and therapeutic targets for several human diseases.
This webinar will focus on the role of non-coding RNAs in cancer biology and their clinical applications as molecular cancer biomarkers, with an emphasis on miRNAs and lncRNAs.
