BioMed Central blogging at ISMB

 
 
 
The International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) took place in July, a key meeting for our bioinformatics, genomics and open science titles.

New from BMC Biology

 
 
 
-  John Scott and Alexandra Newton discuss the design of genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors that report on local kinase activation and second messenger action, and how they are revealing spatio-temporal patterns of intracellular signalling in living cells.
-  Induction of apoptotic cell death is not the only function of proteins of the Bcl-2 family. Carrie Brachmann and colleagues report that flies with mutations in the Drosophila Bcl-2 gene buffy have defective energy homeostasis - which has parallels in recent findings in mammalian hepatocyes and neurones.

Shedding light on local kinase activation

Drosophila larvae lacking the bcl-2 gene, buffy, are sensitive to nutrient stress, maintain increased basal Tor signaling and exhibit characteristics of altered basal energy metabolism

cancer cell Researchers present model of self-metastatic tumour growth
Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling 2012, 9:31
For many decades, the role of the immune system in tumour progression has been subject to discussion. Hahnfeldt et al. demonstrate cancer stem cells and immune cytotoxicity alone are sufficient to explain the modulation of tumour growth through inhibition, selection and promotion, collectively known as the three-step "immunoediting" concept.
