Paperback. Condición: Fair. The BMA Medical Book Award-shortlisted story of the search for p53 - the most important gene in medicine. All of us have lurking in our DNA a most remarkable gene, which has a crucial job ? it protects us from cancer. Known simply as p53, this gene constantly scans our cells to ensure that they grow and divide without mishap. If a cell makes a mistake in copying its DNA during the process of division, p53 stops it in its tracks, summoning a repair team before allowing the cell to carry on dividing. If the mistake is irreparable and the rogue cell threatens to grow out of control, p53 commands the cell to commit suicide. Cancer cannot develop unless p53 itself is damaged or prevented from functioning normally. This book tells the story of medical science?s mission to unravel the mysteries of this crucial gene, and to get to the heart of what happens in our cells when they turn cancerous. Through the personal accounts of key researchers, p53: The Gene that Cracked the Cancer Code reveals the fascination of the quest for scientific understanding, as well as the excitement of the chase for new cures ? the hype, the enthusiasm, the lost opportunities, the blind alleys, and the breakthroughs. And as the long-anticipated revolution in cancer treatment tailored to individual patient?s symptoms begins to take off at last, p53 remains at the cutting edge. This tale of scientific discovery highlights the tremendous recent advances made in our understanding of cancer, a disease that affects more than one in three of us at some point in our lives.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. As featured on BBC Radio 4's Start the Week'A rich, timely study for the era of "global ageing"'- NatureThe ageing of the world population is one of the most important issues facing humanity in the 21st century ? up there with climate change in its potential global impact. Sometime before 2020, the number of people over 65 worldwide will, for the first time, be greater than the number of 0?4 year olds, and it will keep on rising. The strains this is causing on society are already evident as health and social services everywhere struggle to cope with the care needs of the elderly. But why and how do we age? Scientists have been asking this question for centuries, yet there is still no agreement. There are a myriad competing theories, from the idea that our bodies simply wear out with the rough and tumble of living, like well-worn shoes or a rusting car, to the belief that ageing and death are genetically programmed and controlled. In Borrowed Time, Sue Armstrong tells the story of science?s quest to understand ageing and to prevent or delay the crippling conditions so often associated with old age. She focusses inward ? on what is going on in our bodies at the most basic level of the cells and genes as the years pass ? to look for answers to why and how our skin wrinkles with age, our wounds take much longer to heal than they did when we were kids, and why words escape us at crucial moments in conversation.This book explores these questions and many others through interviews with key scientists in the field of gerontology and with people who have interesting and important stories to tell about their personal experiences of ageing. …
