    eBriefing

    Short RNAs in Stress and Longevity: Regulatory Pathways

    Speakers: Frank Slack (Yale University), Ramanjulu Sunkar (Oklahoma State University), Evgeny Nudler (New York University), Anthony Leung (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Irina Groisman (André Lwoff Institute), Germano Cecere (Columbia University)

    As a new eBriefing reports, researchers are identifying microRNAs and siRNAs that play roles in the molecular programs that regulate stress response and senescence.

    eBriefing

    Pattern Recognition: Systems Approaches to Studying Cancer

    Speakers: Andrea Califano (Columbia University), Galit Lahav (Harvard Medical School), Chris Sander (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center), and Arnold Levine (Simons Center for Systems Biology)

    As a new eBriefing reports, computational and experimental tools for modeling cancer biology are helping to identify common patterns underlying pathogenicity at the cellular and genome levels.

    eBriefing

    Out of Line: Cell Polarity in Cancer Progression, Invasion, and Metastasis

    Speakers: Senthil Muthuswamy (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Enrique Rodriguez-Boulan (Weill Cornell Medical College), John Condeelis (Albert Einstein College of Medicine), and Ian Macara (University of Virginia School of Medicine)

    A change in cell polarity is one of the hallmarks of carcinogenesis, and understanding—and stopping—that transition is now one of the hottest topics in cancer research. A new eBriefing looks at recent developments in the field.

    eBriefing

    Circadian Disruption and Cancer: Making the Connection

    Keynote Speaker: Russell J. Reiter (The University of Texas Health Science Center)

    Our bodies use light cues to regulate fundamental cellular processes. A new eBriefing asks, has overexposure to light and shift work in industrialized societies caused cell growth and proliferation to go awry?

    eBriefing

    A Beautiful Machine: Investigating the Inner Workings of the Ribosome

    Speakers: Marina V. Rodnina (Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry), Hani Zaher (Johns Hopkins School of Medicine), and Ruben L. Gonzalez, Jr. (Columbia University)

    Imaging techniques and site-directed mutagenesis are revealing the details of translational fidelity and kinetics at the ribosome. Conformational changes in the ribosome appear to play a key role in these processes.
