Andreas Vesalius's De Humani Corporis Fabrica

Andreas Vesalius's De Humani Corporis Fabrica

De Humani Corporis Fabrica (On the Fabric of the Human Body) is one of the most influential works in the history of Western medicine. It was conceived and written by 28-year-old Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564), a professor at the University of Padua. Vesalius was both a gifted dissector and a learned scholar whose great contribution was to apply to anatomy the critical methods developed by the Renaissance humanist scholars.

USEFUL CANCER BACKGROUND

The Majority of Cancers Are Linked to the Environment

One of the hopeful messages from cancer research is that most of the cases of cancer are linked to environmental causes and, in principle, can be prevented. Together, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences have recently published a new booklet titled "Cancer and the Environment,"  [pdf] which focuses on the agents in the environment that cause cancer and what we can do to lower our cancer risk

The Majority of Cancers Are Linked to the Environment  A Natural Evolution: Advances and Trends in Natural Products Research

The lush tropical rainforests and colorful coral reefs of our planet have long been a source of promise in the fight against cancer and other diseases. Even today, these regions, though shrinking rapidly, remain a mystery. They house an amazing biodiversity of microbial, plant and animal life which produces a dizzying array of protective chemicals, such as the toxins secreted by tree frogs, cone snails, and the plant Ricinus communis, source of the deadly ricin. And somewhere under that forest canopy or coral bed, one or more species in that mass may produce the next great cancer drug. But what is the best way to find it?
