TED Talks have been one of the internet’s more positive aspects since they began popping up online, and a format that has been replicated for a variety of situations.
In 2011, students at Waseda University created their own version of the Technology, Entertainment and Design conference via a non-profit called TED×WasedaU. It is currently the only TEDx Japan organization that offers presentations in both Japanese and English, a decision that underlines the students’ desire to be heard by a diverse audience.
On the heels of its 10th anniversary, the TED×WasedaU team is aiming to put on its biggest event yet, which means an impressive lineup of speakers for its July 18 conference. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the event will not be held in person. However, attendees can sign up to be a part of the virtual audience for the event, which begins at 1 p.m.

It is known that c-Myc is involved in cancer cell proliferation and angiogenesis and changes the cell cycle, suppresses normal cell differentiation, and promotes cancer metastasis. It is a typical proto-oncogene that regulates many genes related to growth factors and is known to be involved in developing of many cancers, such as chromosomal translocation in Burkitt lymphoma. Therefore, drug discovery research is being conducted worldwide as an anticancer drug targeting this transcription factor that can directly attack cancer stem cells. However, since embryonic lethality occurs in c-Myc knockout mice, c-Myc is considered as an essential gene for living cells, and selective delivery to cancer tissues is an important key to developing its inhibitors. Besides, c-Myc is also known as a factor necessary for the initial induction of iPS cells. In the future this inhibition can be expected to be applied as a technology that can also be used to suppress iPS cell-derived carcinogenesis.
