...around the world. Known as a cancer stem cell, it could be the culprit behind a malignant tumor's nasty habit of recurring year after year and popping up in distant parts of the body long after the primary growth is gone. Studies of that cell are helping scientists unravel some of cancer's deepest secrets and leading doctors closer to the ultimate goal of any cancer therapy--a cure. Think of the stem cell as a tumor's master print; as long as the original exists, copies can be made, and the disease can persist. But destroy the tumor...
...these extraneous, clichéd elements quickly overpower the film’s central plot line, turning the players into caricatures and causing the film to unravel...

The high point -- spectaclewise -- came when Reynolds, on TV, challenged his ex to truth-serum and lie-detector tests to prove that she cheated on him before he cheated...
...Great Gene Hunt. It was an extraordinarily productive year for the genetic engineers racing to unravel the secrets of human DNA. Scientists not only pinpointed genes linked to more than half a dozen major ailments -- including Lou Gehrig's disease, Huntington's disease, colon cancer, hyperactivity and a type of diabetes -- but also sketched out the first rough map of all human chromosomes. Other researchers explored ways to use this information to replace damaged genes. The first beneficiaries of ''gene therapy'' -- two Ohio girls who have an immune-deficiency disease -- made their public debut after three years of successful treatment...
