...disease, which should allow doctors to distinguish facial tumor disease easily from other cancers that afflict the Tasmanian devil, and could eventually help determine a genetic pathway to attack the tumor itself. "This is the first application of genetics to estimate the basic biology of the tumor," says Tony Papenfuss, a bioinformatics researcher at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne and a co-author of the Science paper. "And we've produced a set of tools that can push that information further...
...that's important because devils are unusually susceptible to a number of different cancers, and a quick diagnosis before the facial tumors get out of control would be helpful. "The real importance of this is that we can differentiate between the facial tumor disease and any other cancer," says Papenfuss. "That allows for much more specific diagnoses...
...growth; these could be useful targets for designing a future vaccine. The difficulty will be creating a treatment that attacks the tumor, but spares healthy cells. "The key in a vaccine is not to create immune action that would hurt the devils by attacking their Schwann cells," says Papenfuss. "Now we can look for specific markers on the tumor cells to attack." Tough as they are, Tasmanian devils still need a lot of help...
Penn drew close at the 3:12 mark in the final quarter, when midfielder Dave Papenfuss found co-captain Peter Eisenbrandt. With a quick dodge Eisenbrandt pulled down the pass and tossed in Penn's final score...
Despite Harvard's total domination of the first period, it was the Quakers who scored first. With Faught in the penalty box because of severe hallucinations by the referee, Penn's aggressive sophomore middle Dave Papenfuss collected the first of his two goals on a high, hard screen shot...
