A predictor for bone metastasis in breast cancer patients

Roger Gomis (ICREA at IRB Barcelona) and his team have just found a reliable predictor for bone metastasis in breast cancer. The finding, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute reveals that the ability of breast cancers to invade bone requires the overexpression of a specific gene (MAF). With that, tumour cells learn how to to find, survive and colonize bone tissue. This 'training' seems highly focused on bone tissue: these metastatic tumor cells do not know how to invade other tissues such as brain, or lung.

ICREA Conference Awards 2015
ICREA Conference Awards are specific, dedicated awards aimed at funding scientific events of the hottest, most advanced topics in research of all disciplines. ICREA research professors make their proposals for funding and a board of external advisors ranks them and grants the awards.

This edition of the ICA, ICREA Conference Awards, has gone to three events after fierce competition and a lot of debate of the jury. The three conferences awarded are:

ICREA Workshop on Personhood and the Locked-in Syndrome, organised by Fernando Vidal (ICREA at UAB) and Gustavo Deco (ICREA at UPF).

ICREA International Symposium on “BioNanoVision of cellular architecture: from the nucleus to the cell membrane”, organised by M. Garcia-Parajo (ICREA at ICFO), M, Lakadamyali (ICFO) and M.P. Cosma (ICREA at CRG)

ICREA Conference on Functional Molecular Nanocontainers, organised by Ciara O'Sullivan (ICREA at URV) and Pablo Ballester (ICREA at ICIQ).
