...does it? What the SUNY team found was that some breast-cancer cells contain elevated levels of enzymes known as mitogen-activated protein kinases. The problem is, MAP kinases are elevated in many dividing cells. Finding high levels in breast tumors, as Princeton University molecular biologist Arnold Levine dryly observes, hardly comes as a surprise...
...cancer. The discovery eventually may enable doctors to head off the disease before tumors develop. The study, published in the April issue of The Journal of Clinical Investigation, was performed by researchers at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. The molecule, mitogen-activated protein kinase, or MAP kinase, is five to 20 percent more prevalent in women with breast cancer than in those without the affliction. Researchers say the molecule's migration into the nucleus of a breast cell causes the cell to begin replicating wildly, thus causing cancer. If confirmed, the discovery would allow doctors...
...surprise; he had succumbed to senile dementia years before, and a sort of deathwatch had settled over the art world as it observed, at a distance, the slow sinking of the last Abstract Expressionist. Now they were all definitively gone, the artists who put American art on the world map after 1945: Arshile Gorky, Jackson Pollock, Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, Robert Motherwell and the transplanted Dutchman who jumped ship into the New World in 1926 and settled in New York as an illegal alien. Fortunately for American art, the immigration officials never caught up with de Kooning...
...search for information about their activities and their reasons for choosing to die continues. Police have removed all of the computers from the house and turned them over to the FBI. Experts will pour over hard drives in the coming weeks, looking to clear up mysteries like the world map with several cities marked on it that investigators found in the cult house. Officials hope to learn whether there may be surviving members of the cult in other locations. Meanwhile, Mark Applewhite, the 40-year-old son of cult leader Marshall Herff Applewhite issued a public apology to the relatives...
