Conference - Riviera Maya, Mexico
Cancer cells develop the ability to proliferate abnormally and invade surrounding tissue, eventually metastasizing to distant sites. These abnormalities reflect changes in the normal control mechanisms that limit cell division, cell growth, cell movement and cell survival. Alterations in oncogene and tumor suppressor gene function can regulate signaling pathways that govern these characteristics, with a recent understanding that the control of metabolic pathways is intimately linked with the acquisition of the malignant phenotype. This conference will explore how signaling through multiple pathways can regulate disparate aspects of cancer cell behavior, the development of models to examine these responses and how this knowledge may reveal specific vulnerabilities of cancer cells that could be exploited for therapeutic benefit.
