[Illinois] Cancer Community Symposium 2012: Understanding and Targeting Transcription in Hematological Malignancies
Online Presentations | 09 May 2012 | Contributor(s):: Jonathan D. Licht
Abnormalities in the epigenetic regulation of chromatin structure and function can lead to aberrant gene expression and cancer development. Epigenetic regulators can be affected by chromosomal rearrangement, point mutations, deletions and amplifications in cancer. The result may be changes in the...

[Illinois] Cancer Community Symposium 2012: The Inhibitory Effects of the Antifibrotic Drug Halofuginone on Uterine Leiomyoma Smooth Muscle Cells
Online Presentations | 09 May 2012 | Contributor(s):: Faezeh Koohestani
Uterine leiomyomas are the most prevalent benign tumors of the reproductive tract in women. Available treatments for leiomyomas are limited to surgical procedures or hormonal therapy, which are costly and have significant side effects. In an effort to develop alternative therapeutic strategies,...

[Illinois] Cancer Community Symposium 2012: A Sensitivity Scale for Targeting T Cells with Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CAR) and Bispecific T Cell Engagers (BiTE)
Online Presentations | 09 May 2012 | Contributor(s):: Jennifer Stone
Using a patients immune system to target cancer and maintain long-term surveillance is an attractive goal. Although T cells can respond potently to tumors, immune tolerance mechanisms often result in deletion or inactivation of those T cells expressing specific T cell receptors (TCRs) against...

[Illinois] Cancer Community Symposium 2012: Micro-western Arrays for Identification of Novel Mechanisms Underlying Resistance of Cancer Cells to Chemotherapeutic Agents
Online Presentations | 09 May 2012 | Contributor(s):: Richard B. Jones
A fundamental goal in cancer treatment is the delivery of therapeutics in a manner that takes into consideration genetic differences between individuals. Genome-wide association analyses have discovered many DNA variants that influence complex phenotypes such as response to anti-cancer...

[Illinois] Cancer Community Symposium 2012: DriveRank: Discovering Patient-Specific Driver Mutations
Online Presentations | 09 May 2012 | Contributor(s):: Jack Pu Hou
One of the pressing challenges in cancer genomics is to distinguish driver mutations (i.e. mutations involved in tumorigenesis) and passenger mutations (i.e. functionally neutral mutations). Current approaches to identifying driver mutations in cancer look for recurrent events in multiple...

[Illinois] Cancer Community Symposium 2012: Elevated Estrogen Signaling Drives Tumorigenesis in a Novel Animal Model for Ovarian Epithelial Cancer
Online Presentations | 09 May 2012 | Contributor(s):: Mary Jo Laws
We generated a mouse model where aberrant estrogen receptor alpha (Esr1) signaling in the hypothalamo-pituitary-ovarian axis leads to ovarian tumorigenesis. In this model, termed Esr1d/d, the Esr1 gene is selectively deleted in the anterior pituitary. The Esr1d/d mice form palpable ovarian tumors...

[Illinois] Cancer Community Symposium 2012: An Integrated Approach to Cancer Research
Online Presentations | 09 May 2012 | Contributor(s):: John F. McDonald
The field of cancer biology is rapidly moving from an era of specialization to an era of integration. In my presentation, I will provide examples of the integration of molecular biology with analytical chemistry, computer science/machine learning and material science/nanotechnology to develop...
