...kill both malignant and healthy cells indiscriminately--by bombarding tumors with as much cell-destroying chemical as the patient can handle. Angiogenesis inhibitors, by contrast, are smart missiles. Like Gleevec, they belong to a new breed of cancer-fighting agents that grow out of a deep understanding--at the molecular level--of how cancers grow, and are designed to block a particular step along...
...rare malignancy called chronic myeloid leukemia. It's too early to say just how good Gleevec is. But the drug's success so far makes one thing clear. When designing a safe, effective treatment for a particular cancer, it pays to learn as much as possible about its underlying molecular biology...
...scientist specializing in the field of molecular biology, Tilghman has been at the forefront of such controversial issues as cloning and the human genome project. As a result, she has had to tackle some of the toughest ethical questions scientists have faced in recent decades...
Before coming to Princeton, Tilghman had already proven herself a leader in the fields of molecular biology and genetic research...
...relate language to "tangible material processes" like floods, the spread of agriculture and demographic developments. Currently the prehistory of language is, as Renfrew puts it, "at the edge of knowability," but that could change in a matter of decades if the feverish pace of cross-fertilization of molecular anthropology and archaeology continues...
