The Diversity of Development - The Genetics of Primate Evolution: A Rosetta Stone for Understanding Human Disease

"Ajit Varki is Co-Director of the newly established UCSD / Salk Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny, multidisciplinary approach to understanding human origins, which involves scientists from across San Diego and all over the world. Here he explores the genetic approach to understanding human disease, in the light of genetic changes that occurred during our evolutionary history."

Our diversity  blends with commonalities ,which  as a means for understanding each individual better,  collectively improves  Life.

This lecture  simplifies complexities of DNA & Time invariably inspiring enthusiastic exploration.

Enjoy your next 51 minutes learning about How!

Sincerely,

Metastasis by Richard Hynes

From MIT World

“Screens are revealing a lot of different mechanisms by which metastatic cells learn new tricks, and suborn the mechanism of the host to get them where they’re going. The appealing thing is, these alterations offer opportunities for therapies: you can interfere with circuits between cells, restore growth suppression, interfere with blood vessel formation.” Richard Hynes
