| | An update on the real-life characters from Lorenzo's Oil
Posted by AM2
Interesting link! I thought it was a powerful comment on the nature of doing
science. Moser really was a "good guy" in my opinion who provided a
necessary
balance for parent's desperate for a cure. This is a no win situation.
Science must provide good data, must be methodical and must be put to the
test. Good science takes time. Preliminary results give hope, but they have
not been put to the full testing required to fully support and accept the
initial results. am2

| | This website goes through the process of what happens to the brain in a
person who has alzheimer's
disease. It has a tour in which it talks generally of the three main parts
of the brain and talks about the
disease and the effect on the brain.

| | I recently found this website and I think that it is perfect for the
upcoming exam! It clearly explains the
inner workings of the immune system and describes it in a way that puts
everything we have learned
together! 3/4: TL

| | So I Stumbledupon this website (that's Stumbleupon, a Firefox extension)
called Thinkgene. It really is perfect. It's subtitled "A bio blog about
genetics, genomics, and biotechnology." The article that piqued my interest
was about proteins that protect stem cells. AD (2)

| | Potential New Weapon against Lou Gehrig's Disease: Scientific American
This is a very interesting article concerning a practical application of genetic engineering. A mouse
was genetically engineered to simulate the degenerative disease ALS. A mouse was used because its
genes are similar (to sum extent) to humans. In this way, they were able to experiment on this mouse
and learn more about the disease. Genetic engineering is used widely in the pharmaceutical industry
to ultimately lead to the development of new drugs. TL (4)
