Paul Walden, associate professor of urology and biochemistry at NYU’s School of Medicine, is among the scientists worldwide who are shifting their attention from genetic mutations to protein imbalances as potential culprits in the development of cancer.
Walden’s research suggests that some cancers might arise from an insufficient quantity of one or more particular proteins, rather than mutations in the genes that created these proteins.
Walden and his colleagues are now developing a mouse model in which the BTG2 gene has been removed, or knocked out, to better sort out how the protein functions in cells.

My house was on the side of a hill, immediately on the edge of the larger wood, in the midst of a young forest of pitch pines and hickories, and half a dozen rods from the pond, to which a narrow footpath led down the hill.

 HYLE 4-1 (1998): Chemicals as Instruments - A Language Game
During a discussion of the growth of the synthetic organic chemistry, Walden debates the received view of the instruments' function in the history of the "experimental sciences".
According to Walden, if it is applied to chemistry this scheme has to be extended, because "the hundred thousands 'new bodies', artificially prepared by experimental chemistry, are for the most part unnatural structures (naturfremde Gebilde)", and thus are not an "expansion of our senses" but an "expansion of nature" (Walden 1941, p.
Walden creates a context of discussion about the function of instruments in the progress of science, puts in that same context physical apparatus, mechanical tools and synthetic chemical bodies, and distinguishes the first two kinds of instruments (Apparate, Werkzeuge) from the third one (Gebilde).

Paul Elmer More: "He was one of Rousseau's wild men, but moving toward the higher self-restraint of neo-humanism's inner-check."
