title: Twenty-second annual Pezcoller Symposium: RNA biology and cancer.
abstract: The 22nd annual Pezcoller Symposium titled "RNA Biology and Cancer" was held in Trento, Italy, on June 10-12, 2010. The program of the symposium was developed by Drs. Rene Bernards, Witold Filipowicz, and David Livingston; they cochaired the meeting in cooperation with Dr. Enrico Mihich. The topics discussed included the opportunities offered by small RNA as tools for cancer drug development, the role of noncoding RNAs, the biochemistry of small RNAs, the function of micro RNA in cancer, and RNAs as diagnostics and therapeutics in cancer.
