It is within the context of finding products that have an effect on human health that a study has been published regarding the gene expression of prostate cancer cells treated with pomegranate fruit juice (70) where a comparative proteomics study provided insights for prostate cancer evolution. The involvement of pomegranate fruit products in the molecular mechanism of inducing prostate cancer cell apoptosis has been evidenced. Thus, a possible...

The neoplastic lesions support the adenoma-carcinoma sequence as well as the novo hypothesis of cancer evolution. 

Chemiluminescence has been studied extensively (2) for several reasons (/) chemiexcitation relates to fundamental molecular interactions and transformations and its study provides access to basic elements of reaction mechanisms and molecular properties (2) efficient chemiluminescence can provide an emergency or portable light source (J) chemiluminescence provides means to detect and measure trace elements and pollutants for environmental control, or clinically important substances (eg, metaboHtes, specific proteins, cancer markers, hormones, DNA) and (4) classification of the hioluminescent relationship between different organisms defines their biological relationship and pattern of evolution.

The data presented here has provided a chronological picture of the evolution and current state of the possible positive or negative association of some methylxanthine-containing products and various types of cancer. Perhaps the best conclusion at this time is an extension to tea and other methylxanthine-containing products of the statement by Stavric" who in 1990 wrote that certain controversial issues about the effect of coffee on human health remains unresolved. Future work should focus on types and methods of preparation of teas, roasting and preparation methods for coffees, and consider the whole beverage rather than caffeine or other methylxanthine per se. Meanwhile it appears that both tea and coffee and... 

For more than thirty-five years, I ve been studying evolution - originally the evolution of cancer (Shostak and Tammariello, 1969 Shostak, 1981), and more recently, the evolution of tissues (Shostak, 1993 Shostak and Kolluri, 1995). During this time, I have encountered reductionism, sometimes as a prod and frequently as an obstacle. I have learned, thereby, to appreciate the difficulties that reductionism presents for studying evolution. Thus, when Daniel Dennett, the philosopher of evolution and consciousness, asks in his perennially popular, Darwin s Dangerous Idea, Who s Afraid of Reductionism (Dennett, 1995, p. 80) I m compelled to answer I am and explain why.

We re all kind of entwined in this evolution that we re going through. The whole planet is out of balance right now, and we who have chemical sensitivities are suffering the consequences of that. And I don t think it s just those of us with chemical sensitivities, it s people with cancer and other illnesses created by our toxic environment. 

Clinically relevant pathologies (e.g., pulmonary illness, cardiovascular illness, evolutive cancer, neurological illness, blood illness)... 

A 1954 pnblication in the British Journal of Cancer by Peter Armitage and Richard Doll" (whom we mentioned a few pages back) entitled The age distribntion of cancer and a multi-stage theory of carcinogenesis can be seen as a seminal event in the evolution of onr understanding of the way in which cancers develop. Although there have been a nnmber of snccessfnl modifications and refinements of the Armitage-Doll model in the 50 years since its publication, it is still seen as broadly correct.
