...agency that would regulate cosmetics, cleaning agents, and personal care products. “Why do people not know that our skin is our largest organ and that everything we put on it is absorbed?” Heinz Kerry asked. Erik Procko, a fourth-year grad student in molecular and cellular biology, said he enjoyed the talk. “I’ve heard John Kerry speak before, and he actually gave a better talk today,” Procko said. “I think his message resonated well.” Alexander N. Harris...
...recognize. His results were striking: the vaccine eliminated the residual tumor cells left after chemotherapy in 15 of his 20 patients. Now Bendandi, who worked with Kwak at the nih, has erected what he calls "the third pillar" of customized therapy by demonstrating that the vaccine produces not just molecular benefits, but clinical ones as well. In other words, the patients in his study lived cancer free for longer than expected...
Belcher has been tackling a whole new field of science every five years (so far, she has mastered materials science, biochemistry, molecular biology and electrical engineering). Considering her track record, the next thing she decides to study could well lead to yet another remarkable breakthrough...
...said. “The cost of the project is very high since we are right at the beginning of the field, so state funding would be very beneficial.”George Q. Daley ’82, an associate professor of biological chemistry and molecular pharmacology at the Harvard Medical School and a Harvard Stem Cell Institute executive board member, said in an interview that he is concerned about losing young talent to states with more funding and resources for stem cell research. Earlier this week, the New York state legislature appropriated $600 million to fund stem cell...
...Later, the English molecular biologist Francis Crick, a co-discoverer in the 1950s of the structure of the DNA molecule, drained a little more romance from dreaming. His and theoretical biologist Graeme Mitchison's "reverse learning" theory held that dreams rid the brain of superfluous notions, and that without this regular flushing brain overload would manifest as hallucinations and obsessions. There are echoes of this idea in the perspective of Drew Dawson, director of the University of South Australia's Centre for Sleep Research: "I tend to think of dreaming as a bit like backwashing the swimming pool filter...
