The idea of the triangle was proposed by John Kenneth Galbraith and developed by Sábato as a model of policy-making in science and technology. [1]: 302–303 The model is based on the concept that in order for a scientific-technological system to exist in practice it is necessary for three sectors to be strongly linked together over the long term: the State (which formulates and implements ...
The 2007 film I Am Legend depicts a cancer-targeting viral vector as unleashing a zombie apocalypse. [92] [93] Similarly, a viral vector therapy for Alzheimer's disease in Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) becomes a deadly pathogen and causes an ape uprising.
In 2004, a researcher at VECTOR died after accidentally pricking herself with a needle contaminated with the Ebola virus. [14] On 17 September 2019, a gas explosion occurred at Vector. [15] One worker suffered third-degree burns, and the blast blew out window panes. The lab has highly contagious forms of bird flu and strains of hepatitis. [16]
The Codman triangle. The Codman triangle (previously referred to as Codman's triangle) is the triangular area of new subperiosteal bone that is created when a lesion, often a tumor, raises the periosteum away from the bone. [1]
Peto's paradox is the observation that, at the species level, the incidence of cancer does not appear to correlate with the number of cells in an organism. [1] For example, the incidence of cancer in humans is much higher than the incidence of cancer in whales, [2] despite whales having more cells than humans.
The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is a project to catalogue the genomic alterations responsible for cancer using genome sequencing and bioinformatics. [1] [2] The overarching goal was to apply high-throughput genome analysis techniques to improve the ability to diagnose, treat, and prevent cancer through a better understanding of the genetic basis of the disease.
In 2011, Purdue University's Cancer, Culture and Community program published Lafayette: Our Cancer Year, a 141-page book inspired by Our Cancer Year. Edited by Rosanne Altstatt, the book featured true stories by "cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, friends and relatives" from the Lafayette-West Lafayette community. Brabner wrote the book's ...
Penrose triangle. The Penrose triangle, also known as the Penrose tribar, the impossible tribar, [1] or the impossible triangle, [2] is a triangular impossible object, an optical illusion consisting of an object which can be depicted in a perspective drawing.
