[Tex/LaTex] Using jabref generated bibliography with lyx

bibliographiesbibtexjabreflyx

I'm using a jabref generated bibliography in lyx according to the following instructions:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=477632

It works well, except for one type of error which I cannot figure out.

LaTeX Error: Command \itshape invalid
in math mode.

Lyx file

I've created a minimum working example below with a one line lyx file and a 1 entry bibliography. Do you know how I can fix this error?

#LyX 1.6.5 created this file. For more info see http://www.lyx.org/

  abstract = {E-Cadherin (CDH1) expression is reduced in thyroid carcinomas by primarily
 unknown mechanisms. In several tissues, SNAIL (SNAI1) and SLUG (SNAI2)
 induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition by altering target gene
 transcription, including CDH1 repression, but these transcription
 factors have not been studied in thyroid carcinoma. Recently, our
 group has provided direct evidence that ectopic SNAI1 expression
 induces epithelial and mesenchymal mouse tumors. SNAI1, SNAI2, and
 CDH1 expression were analyzed in thyroid-derived cell lines and samples
 of human follicular and papillary thyroid carcinoma by reverse transcriptase-polymerase
 chain reaction, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. The effect
 of SNAI1 expression on CDH1 transcription was analyzed by reverse
 transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting in ori-3
 cells. Thyroid carcinoma development was analyzed in CombitTA-Snail
 mice, in which SNAI1 levels are up-regulated. SNAI1 and SNAI2 were
 not expressed in cells derived from normal thyroid tissue, or in
 normal human thyroid samples, but were highly expressed in cell lines
 derived from thyroid carcinomas, in human thyroid carcinoma samples,
 and their metastases. SNAI1 expression in ori-3 cells repressed CDH1
 transcription. Combi-TA mice developed papillary thyroid carcinomas,
 the incidence of which was increased by concomitant radiotherapy.
 In conclusion, SNAI1 and SNAI2 are ectopically expressed in thyroid
 carcinomas, and aberrant expression in mice is associated with papillary
 carcinoma development.},

UPDATE:

Another biblographic file that is trickier to get working is:

bibTex file

Best Answer

I've noticed two things:

  1. The encoding of your document is latin9 (View > View Source > Complete Source), but
  2. The entries in your .bib file are written in UTF-8 fashion, which BibTeX doesn't support.

So, try writing accented characters in your .bib the usual way, e.g. González > Gonz{\'{a}}lez etc.

Also, check LyX wiki for useful tips regarding usage of BibTeX.
