- 2962: Obsessive-Compulsive Behaviors

- 2963: Cancer
- ... on track. However, when a mutation occurs, many serious problems can develop. The p53 gene was discovered in 1979 by David Lane of the University of Delaware and Arnold Levine of Princeton University. It wasn't until 1982 that biologists isolated the gene and found that it seemed to cause cancer. In 1989 Levine and Volgelstein found that the gene was responsible for killing tumors. This is when cancer research took a turn and began to focus on the “molecule of the year”, as proclaimed by Science magazine. Recently, Nikola Pavelitch of New York's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center was able to get a photo of the gene, and she notices that when the disease (cancer) is forming, rogue molecules are present that keep it from performing its good deeds. There have since been 5,200 studies on p53 and researchers are sure it will be a major discovery. The p53's function is as the director to control damage within the cell. When it is healthy, normal cells keep them around and they continue to degrade and replenish themselves. If a high alert is set ...

Self-Consciousness: Memoirs, ch. 1 (1989)- Innocence is a quality that is often taken for granted and abused. We never know when we lose it and it is seemingly gone forever. We are ... realize that it has left us. Innocence is not ignorance, however it lacks knowledge in the same manner. It is based more on naivety or rather, the lack of experience we have. In John Updike's "A&P" the innocent of a local grocery store break through their blindness and daily routines in order to shed some light onto part of reality that they have been missing. This loss of innocence, and realization of such a loss, is John Updike's central theme in "A&P". "A&P" starts with three girls walking into a grocery store wearing only bathing suits and immediately catching the eye of a young, nineteen year old named Sammy. The ...
