...million. Two episodes of Wayne's World spun out of an SNL skit: $170 million. Two of The Addams Family features: $160 million. Toss in a few movie series based on TV shows based on comic books -- two Batman ($410 million), four Superman ($400 million) and three Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies ($250 million) -- and you have a portfolio that could make any film studio healthy now and for years to come. "The genre has enormous crossover appeal," says producer David Permut. "You're getting people who fondly remember the show, plus a whole younger generation who may know...
...some cases, if the damage is too serious to be patched, p53 activates other genes that cause the cell to self-destruct. Mutations in p53, which have been detected in more than 50% of all human cancers, are thus extremely dangerous. In laboratory cultures, some cancer cells that possess mutant versions of p53 do not die when challenged by antitumor agents, while those that have normal p53 genes go belly...
Researchers looking for mutant strands of DNA in skin-cancer cells have discovered a gene that may be at the root of many -- if not most -- cancers, including such major types as lung, breast, brain, bone, bladder, kidney, ovary and lymphocyte. In healthy tissue, the gene acts as a brake on runaway cell division. Scientists hope that by replacing damaged genes with healthy ones, they may someday be able to prevent many types of cancer...
