League against cancer in Laboratory of Metallomics and Nanotechnologies

Ondřej Zítka, Zbyněk Heger, Sylvie Skaličková and René Kizek


Program of WCD 2015 was dedicated to ten researchers from the Laboratory of metallomics and nanotechnologies and their lectures (Fig. 1). The whole series of lectures were introduced by information of the League against cancer Prague activities and regular actions also organized under its auspices on the Laboratory of metalomics and nanotechnology ground. For interest was introduced the cooperation of both subjects which has been continued on the project level since 2006. The connection of some viruses and tumor diseases has been not fully understood yet, so the various relations between malignant progression and presence of SV40 (simian vacuolating virus 40) viral DNA, distributed between 1955 and 1963 in poliomyelitis vaccine as a contamination, were discussed. The ability of virus interference with the function of tumor suppressor p53 was described in laboratory animal tests; however the connections in human have not been clearly described yet.
