Biologists Struggle to Make Sense of Genomics
Sat, 27 Jun 2009 21:04:19 -0000
Ten years ago, the human genome was medicine's holy grail. Playing the part of King Arthur's knights were rival teams of biologists racing to sequence all the genetic instructions required to make a human being. And just as the actual Holy Grail was believed to have miraculous healing powers, some promised that the genome would change medicine forever. Biotech companies raced to cash in—Human Genome Sciences, for instance, filed patents on 100,000 genes and, in 1999, saw its stock quadruple. But genomic science didn't deliver fast breakthroughs. Today Human Genome's stock price is down below $3, and its vast patent portfolio looks like overkill, considering that a human has only about 20,000 genes altogether.
Eric Kandel: A Biology of Mind
Sat, 27 Jun 2009 20:44:04 -0000
Understanding the biology of mental illness would be a paradigm shift in our thinking about mind. It would not only inform us about some of the most devastating diseases of humankind but, because these are diseases of thought and feeling, it would also tell us more about who we are and how we function. I naively thought we were on the verge of such a paradigm change in 1983, when James Gusella and Nancy Wexler were tracking down the gene that causes Huntington's disease. I expected that within 10 years we would have found the major genes that contribute to schizophrenia, depression, and autism. Since then, there has been a lot of enthusiasm about genes and mental illness and some false starts, but surprisingly little progress.

Penn Advances the Treatment and Prevention of Hepatitis B and C
More than 4 million people in the United States are infected with hepatitis C and about 1.5 million people nationwide are infected with chronic hepatitis B. Hepatitis B and C are silent diseases, meaning they are difficult to detect because patients are often asymptomatic. Although hepatitis is curable, untreated hepatitis is a significant risk factor for liver cancer.
