Launch of Help Conquer Cancer Project
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Launch of the Help Conquer Cancer Project
World Community Grid is pleased to launch the Help Conquer Cancer project by the Ontario Cancer Institute (OCI), Princess Margaret Hospital and University Health Network of Toronto, Canada. The mission of Help Conquer Cancer is to improve the results of protein X-ray crystallography, which helps researchers not only annotate unknown parts of the human proteome, but importantly improves their understanding of cancer initiation, progression and treatment. For additional information on this project, please press the Research button in the upper navigation bar or click here.

全球社區網格高興地開展幫助征服癌症計劃，由加拿大安大略省癌症研究所（保監處） ，瑪嘉烈醫院和大學衛生網的加拿大多倫多。該特派團的幫助征服癌症，是提高成績的蛋白質x射線晶體學，這將有助研究人員不僅詮釋未知部分的人類蛋白質，但重要的，提高了認識，癌症的啟動，進展和治療。額外信息關於這個項目，請按下按鈕研究中上部的導航欄或點擊這裡。
Forums
In addition to providing information about this project, we have created a forum for discussions about the Help Conquer Cancer project. To participate in this forum, please press the Forums button in the upper navigation bar or click here. Only forum authors with the title "Help Conquer Cancer Scientist" are authorized to comment as representatives of the research organization: University Health Network (Toronto, Canada).
Project Participation
Help Conquer Cancer is the ninth research project to be launched on World Community Grid and one of five projects currently active. The other four active research projects are: AfricanClimate@Home, (launched August, 2007), Discover Dengue Drugs – Together (launched August, 2007), Human Proteome Folding - Phase 2 (launched July, 2006) and FightAIDS@Home, (launched November, 2005). For more detailed information and FAQs about each of these projects, please click on the Research button in the upper navigation bar or click here. We thank all of our members for all of their valuable contributions to the projects to date and hope you will continue to help us process those, as well as this latest project.

幫助征服癌症是第九屆研究項目，以展開對世界共同體網格計劃，其中5個項目，目前活躍。其他四個活躍的研究項目是： africanclimate @家（ 8月發射， 2007年） ，發現登革熱藥物-連同（ 8月發射， 2 007年） ，人類蛋白質折疊-第二期（ 7月發起，2 0 06年）和f i ghtaids@家（推出11月， 2005年） 。為更詳細的資料和常見問題，逐一介紹這些項目，請點擊，就中心的研究按鈕上的導航欄或點擊這裡。我們感謝我們的所有成員都為他們的寶貴的貢獻，該項目到目前為止，並希望你們繼續幫助我們這些過程，以及這一最新計劃。
Because there are five research projects running on World Community Grid, your grid agent could receive work units from any of the projects. You may elect to focus your computer's time on only particular projects, if you have a preference. To do so, press the My Grid button in the upper navigation bar and select My Projects or click here. Please note, that members were not automatically opted in to the AfricanClimate@Home project due to the computationally intensive code. To read more specifics on the system requirements for Help Conquer Cancer and the other projects, click here.
If you are already a member of World Community Grid, running the BOINC version of our software, there's nothing that you have to do to prepare for the Help Cure Cancer project. The next time your grid agent communicates with the servers, it will send you a work unit from one of the projects at random for which your machine meets the minimum requirements and according to your project participation election preference. To know which project you are running, please double-click on World Community Grid icon in the system tray, and you will see the title of the project in the display. To contribute to the Help Conquer Cancer project, you will need to be using the BOINC software rather than the United Devices software. If you are running the United Devices version of our software, you should use this occasion to migrate to the BOINC software so that you may participate in all current and future research projects. You may migrate to BOINC by following the instructions here. Migrating is easy and takes less than 5 minutes. The install process even uninstalls the UD software for you automatically.
Questions?
If you have any questions, World Community Grid provides you with four methods of obtaining assistance: (1) Review the FAQs found in the Help section of the website; (2) Review the forums to see if anyone has asked/answered the question that you have; (3) Ask the question in an appropriate World Community Grid forum found here, and a Community Advisor or a more experienced member will provide an answer; and (4) Send an email to the support desk from the Contact Us link found at the bottom of every page of the website (except in the forums).
Thank you!

Significance
In order to significantly impact the understanding of cancer and its treatment, novel therapeutic approaches capable of targeting metastatic disease (or cancers spreading to other parts of the body) must not only be discovered, but also diagnostic markers (or indicators of the disease), which can detect early stage disease, must be identified.
Researchers have been able to make important discoveries when studying multiple human cancers, even when they have limited or no information at all about the involved proteins. However, to better understand and treat cancer, it is important for scientists to discover novel proteins involved in cancer, and their structure and function.
Scientists are especially interested in proteins that may have a functional relationship with cancer. These are proteins that are either over-expressed or repressed in cancers, or proteins that have been modified or mutated in ways that result in structural changes to them.
Improving X-ray crystallography will enable researchers to determine the structure of many cancer-related proteins faster. This will lead to improving our understanding of the function of these proteins and enable potential pharmaceutical interventions to treat this deadly disease.
