Science Buzz Lunch in Mixer Room, Bldg 1, Jan. 28, 2013
Topics discussed included:
1) A report in this week's Nature titled: Japan's stimulus package showers science with cash
2) A News & Views article in this week's Nature titled: The to and fro of tumour spread. It features two papers in the most recent issue of Cancer Cell shedding light on the roles of cellular transitions between the epithelial and mesenchymal states during cancer metastasis, These papers reveal that cancer metastasis requires not only an initial EMT transition to escape the tumor site, but also a subsequent MET transition to establish new tumors at new sites. This provides insights into which cellular processes should be targeted in cancer treatment.
