攻克癌症和其他多种疾病的最有效方法是密切注视发病的早期迹象;而那正是医学研究人员对于涉及蛋白质的诊断技术的潜力感到振奋的缘由——蛋白质是执行保持人体功能所需的神奇使命的工具分子。每种疾病可激发出一套它所独有的蛋白质“生物标记”,这种“标记”不久医生将有可能从简便的血液测试中检测到。遗传学家李·哈特维尔(Lee Hartwell)现任西雅图市弗雷德·哈钦森癌症研究中心主任,是2001年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖获得者之一,不久前在接受《新闻周刊》记者弗雷德·古特尔(Fred Guterl)采访时谈到了蛋白质诊断的未来前景。
The most effective way to get over cancer and many other diseases is to look closely at the early signs of the disease; and that’s where medical researchers are excited about the potential of diagnostic technologies that involve proteins - proteins are the magic they need to perform their body functions Mission tool. Each disease triggers a unique set of protein “biomarkers” that doctors will likely detect from simple blood tests sooner or later. Geneticist Lee Hartwell is currently director of the Seattle-based Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2001, and recently accepted by Newsweek Fred Guterl talks about the future of protein diagnostics.
