...treatments were far too toxic for most patients to endure. By comparison, the new-generation drugs are precision-guided missiles that zero in on tumors with a minimum of collateral damage. Used in combination with advanced techniques for classifying tumors by their molecular signatures and screening patients by their DNA, the drugs are transforming cancer from a deadly disease into a chronic condition that can be managed indefinitely. The FDA, responsible for approving new drugs, acknowledged the trend earlier this year when it issued new guidelines for evaluating this type of molecular and genetic data. "The bench and bedside have...
...bread and broth, and the men were often given only dirty water to drink, Agliana said. To cope, the three took on roles, with Salvatore Stefio's good English making him "the Leader." Agliana said he fell into the part of "the Strong One." "It's in the family DNA," he says. "I didn't ever let [the captors] see any fear. I wouldn't give them the satisfaction."

McCormick says he plans to use this money to pursue a wide range of projects on a variety of subjects ranging from saints’ lives to DNA to Carolingian coins to rats. At the root of all of these projects is a desire to create historical knowledge using the breakthroughs of natural science and the computer revolution, he says...
McCormick says he intends to use science’s new understanding of DNA and genomes to determine how health and disease impacted people’s lives throughout the medieval period...
...unlike the movie “Jurassic Park,” McCormick hopes to use DNA, which may survive in fragmented form in the remains of both people and animals, to determine what organisms might have had an impact of people’s health, he said...
