1:11 | For more than a decade, Spiegelman and his postdocs, including Jeff Schlom, Richard Axel and Don Kufe, all of whom went on to distinguished careers of their own at Columbia, NCI and Harvard, pursued the elusive breast cancer virus. Spiegelman's last paper on that topic, "Properties of retrovirus-like particles produced by a human breast carcinoma cell line: immunological relationship with mouse mammary tumor virus proteins" (Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1984 Jul;81(13):4188-92), appeared in 1984, a year after his death. No breast cancer virus has ever been found. 1:12 | Doubtless unbeknownst to the Maharaj Ji, J. Michael Bishop and Harold Varmus at the University of California in San Francisco already were in the process of establishing that many cancers were the product of mutations in normal genes—i.e., life itself--which then triggered the wild proliferation of previously healthy cells--i.e., cancer--or else failed in their mission to suppress such proliferations.1:13 | Remnick, D.
