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.

全球社区网格高兴地开展帮助征服癌症计划，由加拿大安大略省癌症研究所（保监处） ，玛嘉烈医院和大学卫生网的加拿大多伦多。该特派团的帮助征服癌症，是提高成绩的蛋白质x射线晶体学，这将有助研究人员不仅诠释未知部分的人类蛋白质，但重要的，提高了认识，癌症的启动，进展和治疗。额外信息关于这个项目，请按下按钮研究中上部的导航栏或点击这里。
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.

帮助征服癌症是第九届研究项目，以展开对世界共同体网格计划，其中5个项目，目前活跃。其他四个活跃的研究项目是： africanclimate @家（ 8月发射， 2007年） ，发现登革热药物-连同（ 8月发射， 2 007年） ，人类蛋白质折叠-第二期（ 7月发起，2 0 06年）和f i ghtaids@家（推出11月， 2005年） 。为更详细的资料和常见问题，逐一介绍这些项目，请点击，就中心的研究按钮上的导航栏或点击这里。我们感谢我们的所有成员都为他们的宝贵的贡献，该项目到目前为止，并希望你们继续帮助我们这些过程，以及这一最新计划。
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!

Help Conquer Cancer
Project Status and Findings:
Information about this project is provided on the web pages below and by the project scientists on the Help Conquer Cancer website. To comment or ask questions about this project, please submit a post in the Help Conquer Cancer forum.
Mission
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.

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.
