Non-Coding RNA Webinar | A Novel Regulatory Circuit Required for Tumor Angiogenesis and Cancer Growth, 6 November 2024
This Non-coding RNA webinar is open to all who enjoy performing any type of research on the topic of non-coding transcripts or are passionate about learning about this exciting and competitive research area. The webinar speakers will present new findings from basic to translational research. Any interesting ideas for topics and speakers are welcome!
This webinar is about angiogenesis and its targeting ability in cancer.
Angiogenesis is crucial for cancer progression. While several anti-angiogenic drugs have been developed for cancer treatment, their clinical benefits are unsatisfactory. Thus, a deeper understanding of the mechanisms sustaining cancer vessel growth is crucial to identify novel therapeutic targets.
Alternative splicing (AS) is a major contributor to human proteome diversity. Nevertheless, its relevance for tumor angiogenesis is not known.
Dr. Claudia Ghigna’s group has demonstrated that AS is altered in cancer vasculature, and its aberrances correlate with the level of tumor angiogenesis, metastasis formation and poor patient outcome. Crucially, they have identified novel cancer endothelium molecular features that might be targeted with RNA-based technologies for the development of more effective therapeutic approaches.
In her talk, Dr. Ghigna will provide us with new insights to understand and treat the aberrant phenotype of cancer blood vessels.
