Those ideas are already changing the way doctors think about cancer. They are starting to set aside their decades-old obsession with reducing the bulk of a cancerous growth and appreciate instead that the vast majority of its mass is cellular noise, a distraction from the tiny percentage of cells--perhaps as few as 3% to 5%--that are the real culprits. At the latest meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, researchers at City of Hope Cancer Center in Duarte, Calif., announced that they had isolated a group of stem cell--like cells in lungs that seed...
...completely revising and reorganizing all the life sciences concentrations,” Lieberman said. Separate concentrations in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Human Evolutionary Biology, Neurobiology, and Chemical and Physical Biology may be created. The current Biochemical Sciences concentration would also be renamed “Molecular and Cellular Biology.” “Concentrations that are currently available don’t really fit the needs of students,” Lieberman said. If approved by the full Faculty, the cluster of new concentrations would mark the first time a concentration has been created since 1992, when...
...satisfying this fascination at HMS’s DSB, a new department that approaches biology from a multidisciplinary viewpoint. He spends at least one day a week in the lab working with researchers, peering into microscopes, and talking with them about their projects, such as the study of cellular locomotion. Knep talks with these researchers inside and outside the lab, enhancing his own scientific understanding while finding how best to artistically represent their work. “When I go over to the Med School and I talk to those folks, they see in my work a reflection of their...
Under the proposed plan, the existing Biochemical Sciences and Biology concentrations would be reconstituted into four new concentrations—Chemical and Physical Biology, Molecular and Cellular Biology, Neurobiology, and Organismic and Evolutionary Biology concentrations...
...This is a somewhat historic event” that would mark the first introduction of a new concentration since 1992, Robert A. Lue, the executive director of undergraduate education in Molecular and Cellular Biology, said yesterday...
