IBM e i ricercatori giapponesi del Chiba Cancer Center Research Institute e della Chiba University hanno unito le forze nel progetto “Help Fight Childhood Cancer”, come iniziativa del World Community Grid, che ha lo scopo di trovare il trattamento farmacologico per il neuroblastoma, la causa di morte più comune nei bambini affetti da tumori solidi. |

13 Mar 2009 – Launch of the Help Fight Childhood Cancer Project |
|
|
|
The mission of the Help Fight Childhood Cancer project is to use World Community Grid to find drugs which can disable three particular proteins associated with neuroblastoma, one of the most frequently occurring solid tumors in children. Finding drugs to disable these proteins would potentially make the disease much more curable with chemotherapy. Neuroblastoma is one of the most common tumors in early childhood and often leads to death. If this project is successful, it could dramatically increase the cure rate for neuroblastoma. |
