"MicroRNA and small non coding RNA: new actors in physiopathology"
October 14-16, 2009
Nice - France
Organizers :
GBD (Groupe de Biologie du Développement)

This colloque also represents a joint event between current FP6/FP7 projects since members
from three following supported miRNA projects are represented :

During the last decade, the discovery and characterization of microRNAs (miRNAs)
have shed a new light on gene regulation. Combination of bioinformatics and
experimental analyses have shown that an important part of all existing mRNAs may
interact with miRNAs, which play a key role in many distinct cellular processes such as
viral infection, cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis or metabolism.
Several inflammatory, neurodegenerative or cardiac pathologies have been clearly
associated with miRNA dysregulation. MiRNAs have also been implicated in several
carcinogenesis processes where they can act as either tumor suppressors or
oncogenes. Many research teams are now working on the use of miRNA expression
signatures for diagnostic, or try to interfere with miRNA function for targeted
therapeutic purposes.
This meeting has been aimed at giving a state of art in many recent breakthroughs in
miRNA and pathologies both at a fundamental and at a clinical point of view.
