MEDICINE
TIME MAGAZINE 31 OCTOBER 1988
SUMMARY:
This article on medicine and how we are still harvesting from it even after 40 years. Researchers in the drug industry found that genes of healthy cells process differently from those of cancerous cells and disease causing bacteria and viruses. By targeting these cells and microbes with drugs that interfere with replication they established an approach that led to new drug therapies for many diseases including leukemia and malaria. In 1964 a researcher developed a revolutionary drug for heart disease that blocks nerve receptors or beta receptors, thus preventing the heart rate from increasing with damaging speed. Beta blockers is now widely used to treat heart disease and hypertension.
