	Colorectal Cancer Week -- Your Online Colorectal Cancer Newsletter
		Walter Bodmer, honorary head of the Imperial Cancer Research Center Fund Laboratory for Cancer and Immunogenetics at the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine in Oxford, England is calling for the screenings.
		Bodmer stated that if these people were identified by genetic screening as young adults, they could be given regular colonoscopies to check for precancerous lesions.
		Bodmer reports that the genetic screening would be cost effective when offset against the expense of treating patients with colorectal cancer.

	IN BRIEF
		Sir Walter Bodmer, the fund's director-general, said lifestyle changes and better awareness of some of the causes of cancer were already starting to make a mark, and predicted cancer deaths, still rising in the industrialized world, would begin to fall over the next 25 years.
		Bodmer said the Human Genome Project, a worldwide effort to map all the genes in the human body, much of which was published by the science journal Nature Thursday, was
		Bodmer said all these advances meant cancer was no longer a word to be whispered with dread.

		Walter Bodmer: One has to say it’s not the lack of hair, we have actually lots of hairs on our body, it’s really the lack the dense fur.
		Walter Bodmer: Well, first of all, there’s no evidence for it at all of any sort.
		Walter Bodmer: Well, the real problem with these sorts of parasites is that they carry dangerous infections, virus infections and may also mobilise bacterial infections.

		Pagel and co-author Walter Bodmer, a geneticist at Oxford University, thought that there could be another explanation for nakedness: protection against parasites.
		They may have lost their hair because hairless skin is easier to keep clean, the researchers say, citing evidence that more parasitic infections occur in still-hairy regions such as the head and pubic area.
		Bodmer and Pagel point to the naked mole rat as another example of a creature that may have taken this road to hairlessness.

		L'artista basilese Walter Bodmer è uno dei pionieri dell'arte astratta in Svizzera.
		Le gracili composizioni di Bodmer, quasi sospese, instabili, senza appiglio, davanti allo sfondo grigio richiamano sì i rilievi di Wladimir Tatlin, Pablo Ricasso o Alexander Calder, ma, per la loro originalità, occupano una posizione propria all'interno dell'avanguardia internazionale dell'epoca.
		Walter Bodmer fu uno dei membri fondatori del "Gruppo 33" basilese, che riuniva importanti artisti della tendenza surrealista e costruttivista.

		The programme is aiming to decode the history of people’s faces, and with the help of the latest DNA analysis, carry out the biggest ever research project into genetic make-up.
		The project, to be carried out by Oxford University and the Wellcome Foundation, uses the work of biologist, Sir Walter Bodmer, who has already begun the process of taking blood samples from rural communities throughout the UK, including Orkney.
		Sir Walter Bodmer visited Orkney in 1994 to take blood samples from the local community as part of a genetic study into ancient genes, which featured in an episode of the BBC’s Horizon.

	Screening for variety of genes could determine bowel cancer risk
		The team, led by renowned scientist Sir Walter Bodmer, hopes that development of a sophisticated blood test based on new knowledge about these mutations could enable doctors to identify and monitor people at high risk of the disease.
		Sir Walter Bodmer, who conducted the research for Cancer Research UK, says: "Patients who had the genetic variants we studied were twice as likely to have multiple polyps in their gut than those who did not.
		Sir Walter adds: "Cancer susceptibility is most probably due to the cumulative effect of many individually infrequent genetic variants, rather than a modest effect of one or more common variants.

	Humans' Fur
		But loss of hair is not an unmixed blessing in regulating body temperature because the naked skin absorbs more energy in the heat of the day and loses more in the cold of the night.
		Mark Pagel of the University of Reading in England and Dr. Walter Bodmer of the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford have proposed a different solution to the mystery and their idea, if true, goes far toward explaining contemporary attitudes about hirsuteness.
		Pagel and Dr. Bodmer suggest that these humid regions, dense with sweat glands, serve as launching pads for pheromones, airborne hormones known to convey sexual signals in other mammals though not yet identified in humans.

		Sir Walter Bodmer at the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine and his team, based in the Department of Clinical Pharmacology at the Radcliffe Infirmary, together with Professors Peter Donnelly and Lon Cardon, are undertaking a £2 million study to find out how different races, tribes and invaders have influenced the genes of Britain’s modern population.
		The findings will not only be used to create a genetic history, but they will also generate vital information that will contribute to an understanding of the inherited susceptibility to a wide range of diseases such as diabetes, Alzheimer’s and heart disease in various parts of the country.
		To be included in the study, not only will a person have to have lived in one rural locality, but his or her parents and grandparents will also have been residents of that neighbourhood.
