When Harvard Medical School introduces innovations, other institutions take heed. If Harvard takes up the SUNY model, what started in Binghamton could blossom into a successful new design for medical education in the United States--and solve the primary crisis...

Not surprisingly, many oncogenes, including one called ras, the first human cancer gene ever identified, are involved in this type of signaling pathway. But there are other molecules that determine whether the cell should heed these signals. And the small protein produced by MTS1 appears to be among the most important inhibitors of cell division. Last year researchers at New York's Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory discovered that a protein they called p16 stifled an enzyme that is a growth promoter. Last week it became clear...

After all, would they really be out there dancing to Salve Festa Dies (Hail, Festive Day) if they knew that one verse of this hymn contains the dour plea "Break the chains of hell, the shadows of the dungeon/ And call up again whatever has fallen...
