FOXP3 Gene Expression in Multiple Sclerosis patients before and after Mesenchymal Stem Cell therapy
Tehran University of Medical Sciences,University of Tehran
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disorder of the CNS. No successful treatment for MS, but one therapeutic strategy in research is the use of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). We studied a group of MS patients who underwented MSCs, assayed for expression of a transcription factor, FOXP3, as a specific marker of MS amelioration in peripheral blood. qRT-PCR on PBMCs showed higher FoxP3 levels.

miR-21 upregulation and miR-128a downregulation in human glioblastomas
1 Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology, University of Coimbra, 3004-517 Coimbra, Portugal 2 Department of Life Sciences, Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Coimbra, Apartado 3126, 30
miRNA deregulation is an important hallmark on cancer development and progression. This work shows that miR-21 is overexpressed is human glioblastoma samples and cell lines, whereas miR-128a is highly downregulated on these tumours. miRNA modulation using antisense oligonucleotides and/or miRNA precursor molecules decreased tumor cell viability. Thus, targeting deregulated miRNAs may constitute a complementary/alternative approach on the treatment of glioblastomas and other miRNA-related maligna

Automation Engineer, Metabolism, Agios Pharmaceuticals, Cambridge, MA, USA
Agios Pharmaceuticals
With new research showing that cancer cells become addicted to using more nutrients than normal cells to promote their rapid growth, there is an unprecedented opportunity to create a new class of oncology therapeutics that target a fundamental and ubiquitous mechanism in cancer cells. The intersection of these two fields of research - cancer and metabolism- represents an important and novel approach to treating cancer.
