...tenure at UCSF, Martin led the school's first capital campaign to raise more than $550 million, and has built biochemistry and molecular biology programs considered among the best in the country...
Skeptical eyebrows were raised in 1985 when three chemists reported that they had stumbled onto a new form of molecular carbon that they believed, but could not prove, had the shape of a soccer ball. Nobody is skeptical anymore. Not only has their theory been confirmed, but it has blossomed into a thriving branch of research. And last week that trio of chemists--Harold Kroto from Britain's University of Sussex, and Robert Curl and Richard Smalley from Rice University in Houston--were rewarded for their work with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry...
...lung cancer. The study, published in the journal Science strongly linked cigarettes to lung cancer and may force the tobacco industry to rethink its argument that no clear connection has been established between smoking and the disease. The research found a tobacco carcinogen called BPDE bonds to three molecular sites on a gene crucial to the development of cancer. The gene, known as P53, monitors DNA copying during cell division and destroys cells with defective copies of genetic material. When BPDE adheres to the gene through cigarette smoking, however, it becomes damaged and cannot eliminate abnormal cells. As a result...
