Spring Has Sprung: New Life in Medicine

Fitting with the theme of Spring, Dr. Yaniv Elkouby (Hebrew University, Israel) discusses his recently published research on how eggs develop in the fetal period of developing females. This involves a chromosomal bouquet formed by microtubule fibers, which is necessary for proper oocyte development. When perturbations in these structures occur, infertility or miscarriage results.
Also, Chris DiBlasio, MD, explains how prostate-specific membrane antigen PET imaging will significantly improve the detection and treatment of prostate cancer.
