Don Levitt’s test results suggested for years he might have prostate cancer, but he decided to monitor his health and forgo a biopsy. A few years ago, one of Levitt’s doctors told him about a more personalized test developed at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center that could better detect cancer and assess whether…
A half-century ago, James Watson and Francis Crick became renowned for revealing the double helix structure of DNA, the molecule in each cell that provides the “blueprint” for human beings. This breakthrough laid the foundation for our understanding of how information is transferred in biology. Arguably one of the most profound scientific discoveries of the…
