FEATUREThe Ecology of Tumors Leukemia and Cancer Stem Cells BY IRVING WEISSMAN AND MICHAEL CLARKECancers and normal tissue stem cells have much in common: Both have self-renewal capacity, and both develop into differentiated progeny. But do true cancer stem cells exist? We believe that they do and that this realization will have a major impact on the understanding and treatment of cancers. Putative cancer stem cells can be recognized by three attr
New clue to how telomeres work
Jef Akst | Mar 24, 2010 | 3 min read
One protein appears to play an integral role in protecting telomeres, and possibly preventing cancerous growth, according to a study published this week in Science. Chromosomes with fluorescently tagged telomeres in cells that lack Rap1and Ku. The arrows point to examples of telomere-sister chromatid exchanges.Image: Titia de Lange laboratoryThe protein in question is part of a complex called shelterin, which prevents a potentially dangerous type of DNA repair that can shorten telomeres and

Some scientists would call writing the most excruciating part of their jobs. Others would say it's an act of joy, or at least it doesn't cause great pain. For a small cadre, writing for audiences outside of their peers--the communications that generally don't count toward promotion and tenure--is also a second career. To be sure, writing for the popular press is nothing new in science. Veteran scientist-authors such as Carl Sagan were profiled in The Visible Scientists,1 a book that was p
