The Heartiest in Heart
Studies, 1993-98
After the previous issue's broad survey of research in
clinical medicine for the years 1981 to 1998 (10[3]:1-2, May/June 1999), Science Watch now
zooms in to examine recent research in a single medical subfield: cardiovascular medicine.
As a first step, Science Watch selected the 200 most-cited papers of each year that

Curtis C. Harris on p53 and Carcinogenesis
What happens at the molecular level to convert a
normal cell into a cancer cell? That fundamental question lies at the root of an entire
subdiscipline of medical research–molecular carcinogenesis. Increasingly, cancer
researchers are focusing their efforts on the genetic alterations that have led to
specific cancers. Understanding the molecular signatures of cancers, they reason, will
lead to the development of better therapies. Curtis C. Harris, Chief of the
Laboratory of Human Carcinogenesis at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Bethesda,
Maryland, has made major contributions to the understanding of this and related topics. He
pioneered the development of in vitro models using human tissues... |
