...School professor in charge of the research said yesterday the grant has been very helpful--he's used it to pay for supplies and for the work of biologists, physiologists, medical students and electron microscopes. But M. Judah Folkman, Andrus Professor of Pediatric Surgery, cautioned that the work takes a great deal of time...
...Harvard doctors using part of a $23 million grant from the Monsanto Chemical Co. report they've made no progress toward a cancer cure. "However," says Dr. Judah Folkman, "we've discovered a great aerosol oven cleaner...
...Bert L. Vallee, Cabot Professor of Biological Chemistry, is included in Folkman's investigations because he is expert at research on molecular biology...
Those involved with cancer research at Harvard, however, note that much more than Folkman's heavily bankrolled investigation of TAF is proceeding well in the Medical area. Increasingly, basic scientists--those not concerned with the clinical aspects of medicine--have responded to the flood of federal funding for study of the disease since the National Cancer Act of 1971. Anatomists, cell biologists, microbiologists, pathologists, biochemists, biophysicists, and immunologists are basic scientists who have come to the field only lately, as it earned respect beyond its clinical aspect as a horrible, and usually incurable, rotting disease...
Other molecular biological research on tumor cells is aimed at identifying proteins on the surface of the cell, like Folkman's Angiogenesis Factor, which are foreign to the victim. Genetically, too, "the cancer cell is of a given differentiated type that loses control of its own growth," Benacerraf says. He is on the fourth floor of Building D at the stolid gray Med School quadrangle, and when he alludes to other investigations of cancer, it is usually by reference to the floor or building on the quadrange where the research is being conducted. His only apparent bias seems...
