Breakthroughs in Cancer Research
39796his week’s discussion concerns new developments in cancer research. One way scientists learn more about any scientific process is to study disruptions or aberrations of that process. In this way, studying cancer cells provides scientists insight into the normal cellular reproductive process as well. The ultimate goal of medical research is to develop treatments or cures, so researchers must compare normal cell growth to cancer cells. Completing this activity will assist you in mastering Module Outcomes 1 and 3:
MO1: Define cellular reproduction and explain the function of cell division by mitosis. (CO3)
MO3: Describe chromosome structure, the cell cycle, and the stages of mitosis. (C03)
MO7: Articulate the function of mitosis and its relationship to cancer in an oral presentation (CO6).
In this week’s discussion, you will choose a recent article on cancer research. Because it is so multifaceted, cancer is the subject of many peer-review research articles in biology and medicine. It is also something that touches all of us in one way or another, so it is a frequent subject of popular news articles as well.
First, read the Module Notes and Chapters 8 and 9 in the textbook. Next, choose a recent article on the treatment of any type of cancer. Your article choice may be from either a peer-reviewed journal article or a popular news site, but should include some information about scientific research involving the causes or treatment of the disease.
Then, in the same post, attach an audio file of less than two minutes that addresses the following:
You have been assigned the task of creating a public announcement about this new research/treatment. Pretend you work for a firm whose job is to raise public awareness about this new development in cancer research. Create an audio file describing the cancer research and relating it to the terms and concepts you’ve learned in this course, but in a way the public will be able to understand. Venture capitalists will also hear your audio ad, so consider how this research is funded.
For your audio presentation, keep in mind the following:
The audio presentation should be less than two minutes long. If you’d prefer to create a video presentation, this is acceptable as well.
Along with the audio, you need to include a written transcript of your presentation. This can be copy/pasted into the body of your discussion board post.
You should also include a list of any references used in your post and audio presentation, using APA format.
