Using bioengineering techniques to target existing cancer cells in the body is not only easier but also less expensive than with more traditional methods, according to SEAS bioengineering professor David J. Mooney, who is also a co-author of the study...
...From a practical point of view, there is no need to manipulate and modify cells outside the body,” Mooney said...
...This may directly lead to a cancer therapy, but it also leads to a blueprint on a molecular and cellular scale of what is needed in a immune response to generate the regression of tumors,” Mooney said...
After his book The Republican War on Science became a best seller in 2005, journalist Chris Mooney decided to find out what the disconnect is between scientists and regular people. In Unscientific America Mooney and marine biologist Sheril Kirshenbaum join together to explain how that disconnect is putting the future of our country in danger. TIME caught Mooney during his book tour and discussed what scientists and teachers can do to raise the level of understanding...
TIME: How do you think the debate over global warming has progressed since you published The Republican War on Science? Mooney: We've come such a long way just because of political change - it's not like the science changed at all, but the politics changed - and yet it's still an incredible struggle. The vote in the House [on a bill to combat global warming] was superclose, and the Senate's going to be probably even closer. The reason that issue is so hard is that we have a gigantic gap between scientists and the public - and by association...
