EMBO Conference Series: Protein Synthesis and Translational Control

7 - 11 September 2011, Heidelberg, Germany

Introduction

"Translational Control" has become a major focus of attention and research activity in the field of gene regulation. Developmental biology and neurobiology are but two prominent examples that have added to the interest in translational control even before the arrival of small non-coding RNAs. MicroRNAs in particular now define a new frontier in gene expression, and will be a central topic to be discussed within the conference series.
