7th Tuscany Retreat on Cancer Research. Palazzo di Piero Chiusi, Tuscany, Italy, 6–13 August

For the seventh time, 60 scientists from 13 countries gathered in Palazzo di Piero, a medieval castle near Chiusi, Tuscany, Italy, to discuss the newest developments in the regulation of apoptosis, oncogenic signaling and aging with regard to cancer development and resistance mechanisms. The topics ranged from basic science to applied research in animal models and clinical trials of cancer research. Further scientific exchanges were inspired by the warm climate, excellent Italian cooking, delicious vino Montepulciano, refreshments in by the swimming pool and romantic outdoor dancing till the morning hours. As in previous years, the format of the conference strengthened existing collaborations, spurred new ideas and interactions between the participants and allowed young scientists to initiate or expand their future career network.
