Identified key mechanisms in the biology of cancer stem cells

Although many ABC transporters have been identified as drug resistance proteins, they may play an additional role regulating the traffic of endogenous or other physiological substrates. Particularly, ABCB1 and ABCG2 transporters are highly conserved in normal stem cells, and may shield the stem compartment from the action of a series of ligands involved in signal transduction. Now, we have identified how the highly conserved Sonic Hedgehog (Hh) pathway can be modulated through the activity of ABCG2 in SP cells with stem-like properties. This upstream regulation of Hh signaling intermediate levels might preserve the stemness of the SP compartment. Cytometry Part A, 2011

Cutting Edge Cytometry at CYTO 2011

Dear Cytometry Colleague,
 
As we look forward to CYTO 2011 we would very much like to recruit your help on spreading information about this exciting ISAC congress to your co-workers, collaborators etc.
Each attached pdf has a different themed attraction. You may wish to select different ones to send to individuals in your own networks.
 
The CYTO 2011 flyers highlight:
 
*
CUTTING EDGE CYTOMETRY
*
IMMUNOLOGY
*
IMAGING
*
HIGH CONTENT ANALYSIS/DRUG DISCOVERY
*
REGENERATIVE MEDICINE
 
Our main purpose is to attract interest and encourage abstract submission for poster sessions.
Please use the following link to submit an abstract http://submissions.miracd.com/cyto2011/Login.asp.
 
We hope that you can help us at this critical point in our congress calendar.
 
Best wishes,
 
Paul Smith,
ISAC President
