Phosphoethanolamine and the danger of unproven drugs
The use of unproven forms of therapy in cancer treatment is very common. In Brazil, the distribution by researchers to patients of an investigational agent called phophoethanolamine (PHOS) has led to a widely publicized scientific scandal. PHOS is a precursor to components of the cell membrane, with some published pre-clinical studies suggesting cytotoxic activity in cancer cells. The willingne...
متن کاملKin selection and the Evolution of Mutualisms between Species
Hamilton’s theory of kin selection has revolutionized and inspired fifty years of additional theories and experiments on social evolution. Whereas Hamilton’s broader intent was to explain the evolutionary stability of cooperation, his focus on shared genetic history appears to have limited the application of his theory to populations within a single species rather than across interacting specie...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Spite
Spite is the shady relative of altruism. Biological altruism is social behavior that incurs a cost (in fitness) to confer a benefit on other individuals. While there are different ways to assess the costs and benefits, and these differences have consequences for the evolutionary dynamics (Kerr et al., 2004), this definition is sufficient to contrast with spite. If altruism involves paying a cos...
متن کاملSocial evolution and genetic interactions in the short and long term
The evolution of social traits remains one of the most fascinating and feisty topics in evolutionary biology even after half a century of theoretical research. W. D. Hamilton shaped much of the field initially with his 1964 papers that laid out the foundation for understanding the effect of genetic relatedness on the evolution of social behavior. Early theoretical investigations revealed two cr...
متن کاملValidation of Shell Theory for Modeling the Radial Breathing Mode of a Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper, the radial breathing mode (RBM) frequency of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is studied based on the thin shell theory. For this purpose, SWCNT is considered as an elastic thin cylindrical shell. The dynamic equation of RBM is derived using the Hamilton’s principle. An analytical solution of the RBM frequency of SWCNT is obtained. The advantage of this formulation is that i...
