“I envision devices that detect disease much earlier than conventional detection methods. It could eventually be possible to initiate treatment at this very early stage using implanted devices that communicate with cells at the molecular level.”
Michael Simpson
“Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he could be, and he will become what he should be.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Love is a disease of the heart...in the end, there is no treatment curable and it might just kill you.”
Betsy Johnson
“A disease and its treatment can be a series of humiliations, a chisel for humility”
Laurel Lee
“Any important disease whose causality is murky, and for which treatment is ineffectual, tends to be awash in significance.”
Susan Sontag
“AF267B could be a tremendous step forward in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Not only does it appear to work on the pathology of Alzheimer's and ease its symptoms, it crosses the blood-brain barrier, which means it does not have to be directly administered to the brain, a significant advantage for a pharmaceutical product. Although we cannot determine what the effects of AF267B will be in humans until clinical trials are complete, we are very excited by the results our study has yielded.”
Frank LaFerla
“We are focusing now on [applications] that are relevant to disease detection and treatment. The technique can also be used to track newly developed drugs as they travel into various types of cells. We are only a year or so away from this type of application.”
