...findings are now being prepared for scientific publication, and thus can't be revealed in detail. But Gene Logic will say that based on the genes active in this patient's cancer, antiangiogenesis drugs and most chemotherapy wouldn't work but three drugs would. Moreover, the scientists discovered that this cancer was producing enormous quantities of a particular enzyme that happens to be the target of yet another experimental drug--something to try if chemotherapy failed. The patient is now in remission...
...have to be familiar with every nook and cranny on its surface, which is why the National Institute of General Medical Sciences will spend $20 million this fall to establish a series of research centers dedicated to a branch of proteomics known as structural genomics. The centers will detail, over the next 10 years, the shapes of 10,000 proteins. That's a tiny fraction of all the proteins found in nature, but the NIGMS thinks that number will cover most of the structures relevant to biology and medicine...
...individual elements could not be run simultaneously, mist, foam, splash, wake and currents had to be integrated for each shot. To do so, f/x artists manipulated the foam with more tiny white particles, each one with its own marching orders. By the end, The Perfect Storm's 336 detail-intensive f/x shots consumed more computer memory than the nearly 2,000 shots in The Phantom Menace. "Everybody has gone to the beach and looked at the waves and seen them crashing," says Fangmeier. "You get a sense of what that looks like. We had to get to the point where...
...features made in the sublimely masochistic form of animation known as stop motion, in which plasticine puppets on miniature film sets must be adjusted 24 times for every second of film. A live-action feature has perhaps 500 shots; this 82-min. movie has 118,080. "The detail is astonishing," says Lord, still in awe of his colleagues' industry 28 years after co-founding the studio. "There must be more man-hours per film frame here than in anything else known to man." The art of the Aardmen and -women is to make years of hard work look easy. Viewers...
...reckoned with (the album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard charts). The songs--such as the muted but passionate Light Years--are less impatient and rage filled than much of Pearl Jam's earlier work. Lead singer Eddie Vedder, married and mature, seems more focused on emotional detail than moshing. If you're looking for the answer to Who's Next, Pearl Jam, rather quietly, is building a long-term career to rival the rock legends of the past...
