:50:01
How are my fluids?
:50:03
Pretty good. No kidney involvement yet.
That's pretty amazing with Hex and Vin.
:50:07
How will you know when
the kidneys are involved?
:50:10
- Lots of in, not much out.
- That simple?
:50:14
No way.
:50:16
Compromised kidney function is
a highly complex reaction.
:50:19
- I'm simplifying it for you.
- Thank you.
:50:22
- We're supposed to.
- Bedside manner.
:50:24
There's a whole course on it
in med school. It's required.
:50:27
- Colossal waste of time for researchers.
- I can imagine.
:50:32
Jason?
:50:34
- What were you saying just then?
- When?
:50:40
Never mind.
:50:42
Professor Bearing,
are you experiencing confusion?
:50:45
- Short-term memory loss?
- No.
:50:47
- You sure?
- Yes.
:50:49
Okay.
:50:51
No, I was just wondering...
:50:56
why cancer?
:50:57
Why cancer?
:50:59
Why not open-heart surgery?
:51:02
Yeah.
:51:05
Why not plumbing?
:51:07
Why not run a lube rack
for all the surgeons know about...
:51:10
Homo sapiens sapiens?
:51:12
No way.
Cancer's the only thing I ever wanted.
:51:16
No, really, cancer is...
:51:21
Awesome?
:51:22
Yeah.
:51:23
It is awesome. How does it do it?
:51:27
The intercellular regulatory mechanisms...
:51:29
especially for proliferation
and differentiation.
:51:32
- The malignant neoplasia just don't get it.
- Neoplasia, cancer cells.
:51:36
Yes, that's right.
:51:38
You grow normal cells
in a tissue culture in a lab...
:51:40
and they replicate enough
to form a confluent monolayer...
:51:43
and then divide 20 or 50 times,
but eventually they conk out.
:51:47
You grow cancer cells
and they never stop.
:51:51
No contact inhibition whatsoever,
they just pile up.
:51:54
They keep replicating forever.
:51:57
It's got a great name.
Know what it's called?
