EMT has been recognised over the past two decades as an essential, highly regulated and often-employed mechanism in normal embryological development, used as a prelude to migration of epithelial-derived cells in morphogenesis. Suggestions that EMT may also play an important role in carcinoma metastasis have recently matured, with high-level reports documenting the progression-like consequences of EMT in various cancer systems. The production of fibroblastoid cells from epithelial precursors in fibrotic diseases has been recognised as bearing the hallmarks of EMT . ... [Information of the supplier]
The goal of the meeting is to bring together researchers interested in various aspects of cell death, inflammation and immunity in animals and plants, with a particular focus on the mechanisms that link cell death with the immune response. The meeting is organized in the context of the Collaborative Research Center 670 (CRC670) “Cell-autonomous Immunity” (speaker: Martin Krönke). CRC670 is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and is strongly supported by a community of immunologists in Cologne and Bonn aiming at understanding cell-autonomous immune response in plant and animal. ...

On behalf of the board of the German Society for Immunology (DGfI), we are delighted to invite you to participate in our 47th Annual Meeting to be held in Erlangen from 12-15 September 2017. The Huguenot town of Erlangen, a modern baroque city, where ancient charm meets innovative ideas, is in the heart of the Nürnberg Metropolitan Region. Erlangen hosts one of the oldest and most charming outdoor beer festivals and is home to the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nürnberg and high-tech ventures such as Siemens Healthineers, the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (known for its invention of the MP3), and the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light. Erlangen with a long tradition in basic and clinical immunology has developed under former DGfI presidents, Joachim Kalden and Martin Röllinghoff, into an internationally recognized research center. More than 50 groups in 13 independent clinics and departments at the University Hospital Erlangen and the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg are part of the interdisciplinary research center „Medical Immunology Campus Erlangen “(MICE). The extramural funding from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) ranks number 2 in Germany and includes 5 collaborative research groups focusing on B Cells (TRR 130), resolution of inflammation” (SFB 1181), microbial effectors (SFB 796), inflammatory bowel diseases (KFO 257), and osteoimmunology (SPP 1468). Additionally, there are 3 doctoral training groups with research topics in adaptive immune responses (GRK1660), B cells (GRK-TRR130), and inflammation (GRK-SFB 1181). The 47th Annual Meeting will take place at the Heinrich-Lades-Halle located in the center of Erlangen just a few minutes from the main railway station, hotels, and restaurants. The highlight of the 2017 meeting will be the celebration of the 50th birthday of the DGfI. To salute this special occasion, the organizing committee will compile an exciting scientific program highlighting current research topics in basic and translational immunology in plenary sessions, main symposia, and workshops. A poster exhibition “50 years DGfI-50 discoveries” and a Festschrift will commemorate the history of our society and the highlights of Immunology in Germany. We will finish with an unforgettable birthday party on the last evening of the congress. We cordially invite everyone to submit abstracts in the spring of 2017 and to join us in Erlangen for this exciting event. All Erlanger immunologists are looking forward to welcoming you to our city with the charm of a small baroque town. We hope to make this special meeting a memorable event! ...

The purpose is the creation of a comprehensive computer supported decision/help system for pharmacotherapy and clinical toxicology. At present, CliniPharm/CliniTox has the following components: 1) an animal medicine compendium for Switzerland; 2) specialist information about therapeutic substances; 3) CliniTox, a computer supported decision/help system for the management of cases of poisoning in animals (incl. a poisonous plant database that contains, besides relevant veterinary medical data, botanical information as well as pictures of the individual plants. Because of the multilingual nature of Switzerland the plants can be searched for not only by their scientific names, but also by their common German, French, Italian, and English names.) ...

The Ecological Database of the World's Insect Pathogens (EDWIP) offers information on fungi, viruses, protozoa, mollicutes, nematodes, and bacteria¹ that are infectious in insects, mites, and related arthropods. Data in EDWIP include associations (or lack thereof) between pathogenic organisms and insect, mite, and other arthropod hosts. EDWIP also includes information on where associations have been observed, stages and tissues of hosts infected, and habitats and host ranges of the arthropod hosts. Association and nonassociation data in EDWIP are supported by bibliographic citations. All areas of the database are searchable. (....) ¹Because of the tremendous volume of information available on the bacterial pathogen Bacillus thuringiensis, we have excluded this species from EDWIP. For informaton on Bt, see the Canadian Forest Service's Bt Toxin Specificity Database. ... [Information of the supplier]
The ECOTOXicology database (ECOTOX) is a source for locating single chemical toxicity data for aquatic life, terrestrial plants and wildlife. ECOTOX was created and is maintained by the U.S.EPA, Office of Research and Development (ORD) , and the National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory's (NHEERL's) Mid-Continent Ecology Division (MED). ECOTOX integrates three previously independent databases - AQUIRE, PHYTOTOX, and TERRETOX - into a unique system which includes toxicity data derived predominately from the peer-reviewed literature, for aquatic life, terrestrial plants, and terrestrial wildlife, respectively. ...

IMGT is a high-quality integrated knowledge resource specialized in the immunoglobulins (IG), T cell receptors (TR), major histocompatibility complex (MHC), immunoglobulin superfamily and related proteins of the immune system (RPI) of human and other vertebrate species. IMGT consists of sequence databases (IMGT/LIGM-DB, a comprehensive database of IG and TR from human and other vertebrates, with translation for fully annotated sequences, IMGT/MHC-DB, IMGT/PRIMER-DB), genome database (IMGT/GENE-DB) and structure database (IMGT/3Dstructure-DB), Web resources (IMGT Marie-Paule page) and interactive tools. The IMGT Home page http://imgt.cines.fr (Montpellier, France) provides a common access to all Immunogenetics data. ... [Information of the supplier]
TOXLINE consists of two components: TOXLINE Special and TOXLINE Core. TOXLINE Special is a TOXNET component created by merging all or selected records from several databases, some of which are archival (i.e., no longer being updated). The databases or portions thereof that are included are referred to as TOXLINE Special subfiles. The active collection consists of subfiles that are periodically updated. Most of TOXLINE's records contain abstracts, although some do not. Most of the above subfiles are indexed using keywords, although the vocabularies differ. You may search using specific controlled vocabulary terms for a subfile, if you are familiar with them. However, any terms you enter in the query box will automatically be searched against both the keyword and MeSH fields, in addition to other fields such as title, abstract, and author. TOXLINE Core is a MEDLINE subset of journal literature limited to toxicology and environmental health, and searchable via NLM's PubMed interface. TOXLINE Core is roughly equivalent to the former TOXBIB subfile of TOXLINE, which was also a MEDLINE subset. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
