  • Warburg Effect(S)—A Biographical Sketch of Otto Warburg and His Impacts on Tumor Metabolism Angela M
    Otto Cancer & Metabolism (2016) 4:5 DOI 10.1186/s40170-016-0145-9 REVIEW Open Access Warburg effect(s)—a biographical sketch of Otto Warburg and his impacts on tumor metabolism Angela M. Otto Abstract Virtually everyone working in cancer research is familiar with the “Warburg effect”, i.e., anaerobic glycolysis in the presence of oxygen in tumor cells. However, few people nowadays are aware of what lead Otto Warburg to the discovery of this observation and how his other scientific contributions are seminal to our present knowledge of metabolic and energetic processes in cells. Since science is a human endeavor, and a scientist is imbedded in a network of social and academic contacts, it is worth taking a glimpse into the biography of Otto Warburg to illustrate some of these influences and the historical landmarks in his life. His creative and innovative thinking and his experimental virtuosity set the framework for his scientific achievements, which were pioneering not only for cancer research. Here, I shall allude to the prestigious family background in imperial Germany; his relationships to Einstein, Meyerhof, Krebs, and other Nobel and notable scientists; his innovative technical developments and their applications in the advancement of biomedical sciences, including the manometer, tissue slicing, and cell cultivation. The latter were experimental prerequisites for the first metabolic measurements with tumor cells in the 1920s. In the 1930s–1940s, he improved spectrophotometry for chemical analysis and developed the optical tests for measuring activities of glycolytic enzymes. Warburg’s reputation brought him invitations to the USA and contacts with the Rockefeller Foundation; he received the Nobel Prize in 1931.

  • De Morgan Newsletter 2008
    UCL DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS DDee MMoorrggaann AAssssoocciiaattiioonn NNeewwsslleetttteerr from the Department of Mathematics UCL Issue - 16 - 2008 Editor - Michael O'Neill De Morgan Association Dinner Wednesday 4 June 2008 The venue for the Annual Dinner of the De Morgan Association was again the Jeremy Bentham Room at UCL. Over the years it has been known by other names – most of us will remember it as the Upper Hall, one of the refectories. Its relatively new name was particularly fitting since our Guest of Honour was Dr Andew Murrison MP, who spoke on some of the work of Jeremy Bentham as a social reformer. Dr Murrison is currently Shadow Minister of Defence, having previously been Shadow Minister of Health. His political career mirrors his earlier career in the medical branch of the Royal Navy, when research into neurological decompression illness led to the award of an MD and the Gilbert Blane Medal. This year marked the 10th Anniversary of the death of Sir James Lighthill on 17 July 1998. Sir James was one of Britain’s great mathematicians and a former Provost of UCL and, on his retirement, a member of the Department of Mathematics. He died tragically while engaging in one of his hobbies of long distance swimming. In this issue of the Newsletter, Professor Julian Hunt, who was the founding Dr Andrew Murrison speaking at the Director of the Lighthill Institute of Mathematical Sciences, De Morgan Association Dinner assesses Lighthill’s legacy to the mathematical sciences some 10 years after his untimely death. The year also marked the retirement of two distinguished members of the Department – Professor John Jayne and Dr Kalvis Jansons – and the arrival of one new member of the academic staff, Professor Alexey Zaikin.

  • Krogh's Principle
    Introduction to Neuroscience: Behavioral Neuroscience Neuroethology, Comparative Neuroscience, Natural Neuroscience Nachum Ulanovsky Department of Neurobiology, Weizmann Institute of Science 2017-2018, 2nd semester Principles of Neuroethology Neuroethology seeks to understand the mechanisms by which the Neurobiology central nervous system controls the Neuroethology Ethology natural behavior of animals. • Focus on Natural behaviors: Choosing to study a well-defined and reproducible yet natural behavior (either Innate or Learned behavior) • Need to study thoroughly the animal’s behavior, including in the field: Neuroethology starts with a good understanding of Ethology. • If you study the animals in the lab, you need to keep them in conditions as natural as possible, to avoid the occurrence of unnatural behaviors. • Krogh’s principle 1 Krogh’s principle August Krogh Nobel prize 1920 “For such a large number of problems there will be some animal of choice or a few such animals on which it can be most conveniently studied. Many years ago when my teacher, Christian Bohr, was interested in the respiratory mechanism of the lung and devised the method of studying the exchange through each lung separately, he found that a certain kind of tortoise possessed a trachea dividing into the main bronchi high up in the neck, and we used to say as a laboratory joke that this animal had been created expressly for the purposes of respiration physiology. I have no doubt that there is quite a number of animals which are similarly "created" for special physiological

  • Illustrations from the Wellcome Institute Library the Chain Papers*
    Medical History, 1983, 27:434-435 ILLUSTRATIONS FROM THE WELLCOME INSTITUTE LIBRARY THE CHAIN PAPERS* THE three men who shared the Nobel Prize in October 1945 for their work on penicillin could scarcely have differed more in their backgrounds and characters. Fleming was sixty-four years old by then; the son of a Scottish farmer, he was a retiring man, not given to conversation. By contrast, Florey, then aged forty-seven, was the son of a wealthy Australian boot and shoe manufacturer; aggressively ambitious, his achievements and intellect were later to secure him the Presidency of the Royal Society. Then there was Chain - a mere thirty-nine years old - a Jewish refugee of Russian origin, who still had major work on penicillin ahead of him; his ambition was mixed with an independence and volubility that was to lead him into conflict with the scientific/medical establishment. Fleming has been the subject of many biographies, mostly hagiographical. Florey's role in the penicillin story was recently reassessed in Gwyn Macfarlane's excellent Howard Florey. The making ofa great scientist (Oxford University Press, 1979). Sir Ernst Boris Chain died in 1979, and his biography is being written by Ronald W. Clark. This, together with future research on Chain's papers, will enable a fuller assessment to be made of the role and character of the youngest of the three scientists. The Chain papers, recently given by Lady Chain to the Contemporary Medical Archives Centre, form an extensive collection of some sixty-nine boxes, comprising material from Chain's personal and professional life.
