Oral Cancer Sneaks Up
The actor Michael Douglas has done for throat cancer what Rock Hudson
did for AIDS and Angelina Jolie did for prophylactic mastectomy. By
asserting last week that his cancer was caused by a virus transmitted
during oral sex, Mr. Douglas pushed the disease onto the front pages
and made millions of Americans worry about it for the first time.

Curing cancer with finance
JUST back from an inspirational talk by Andrew Lo of MIT Sloan at a
seminar in the furthest reaches of Canary Wharf. The Economist has
mentioned his idea before but the maths is compelling when he spells
it out in person (here is a link to a video presentation). While
biotechnology had made some great breakthroughs in the last 10 years,
the returns to investors have been lousy; money is now being withdrawn
from the sector. So there is clearly a problem that needs to be solved
if we want more cures to be developed.

Des nanodiamants pour am$(D??(Bliorer les traitements du cancer?
Un des enjeux actuels de la m$(D??(Bdecine est le d$(D??(Bveloppement de nouveaux
traitements du cancer, qui est aujourd'hui une cause majeure de
mortalit$(D??(B dans le monde. D'apr$(D??(Bs les derni$(D??(Bres estimations de l'OMS,
la mortalit$(D??(B li$(D??(Be au cancer continue d'augmenter et pourrait d$(D??(Bpasser
13 millions de d$(D??(Bc$(D??(Bs en 2030. Des progr$(D??(Bs significatifs au niveau des
traitements disponibles ont pourtant $(D??(Bt$(D??(B observ$(D??(Bs ces derni$(D??(Bres
ann$(D??(Bes, notamment gr$(D??(Bce $(D??(B une meilleure compr$(D??(Bhension des m$(D??(Bcanismes
biologiques $(D??(B l'origine des cancers.

L'Homme de N$(D??(Bandertal $(D??(Btait aussi atteint par le cancer
L'$(D??(Bvolution est une chose fascinante qui attise toujours la curiosit$(D??(B
des chercheurs. La cause de l'extinction de l'homme de N$(D??(Bandertal
reste encore inconnue $(D??(B l'homme moderne. Toutefois, une anomalie a $(D??(Bt$(D??(B
d$(D??(Bcel$(D??(Be dans un fossile d'un individu n$(D??(Bandertalien vieux de 120 000
ans. Le cancer de l'os touchait d$(D??(Bj$(D??(B l'homme de Neandertal, alors que
les scientifiques pensaient que ce d$(D??(Br$(D??(Bglement des cellules $(D??(Btait plus
