Nature and nurture: possibilities for cancer control.
Nature and nurture interact and in most cases it is impossible to specify quantitatively the contribution of either to the causation of a disease. Only rarely is either neutral in the sense that the other accounts for all the variation in risk. It seems unlikely that more than a few per cent of all cancers will be accounted for by inherited susceptibility with a high penetrance and a neutral en...
متن کاملNature, nurture and epigenetics.
Real life by definition combines heritability (e.g., the legacy of exposures) and experience (e.g. stress during sensitive or 'critical' periods), but how to study or even model this interaction has proven difficult. The hoary concept of evaluating traits according to nature versus nurture continues to persist despite repeated demonstrations that it retards, rather than advances, our understand...
متن کاملNature, nurture and growth
FOR the first time in history, almost all of the world’s people are bound together in a global capitalist system. This momentous development forces us to think anew about the world economy. In the past, differences in policies across regions of the world resulted in vast differences in economic performance; in the future, policies are likely to be more similar. As a result, large parts of the d...
متن کاملAlcohol and cancer: genetic and nutritional aspects.
Chronic alcohol consumption is a major risk factor for cancer of upper aero-digestive tract (oro-pharynx, hypopharynx, larynx and oesophagus), the liver, the colo-rectum and the breast. Evidence has accumulated that acetaldehyde is predominantly responsible for alcohol-associated carcinogenesis. Acetaldehyde is carcinogenic and mutagenic, binds to DNA and protein, destroys the folate molecule a...
متن کاملNature and Nurture : Genetic and Environmental Influences on Behavior
The appropriate conjunction between the words nature and nurture is not versus but and. There is increasing acceptance of the evidence for substantial genetic influence on many behavioral traits, but the same research also provides the best available evidence for the importance of environmental influence and important clues about how the environment works. Because much developmental action is a...
