Dicer Cuts the Kidney

[摘要] We should occasionally stop, take a breath, and reflect about what is happening at the interface between medicine and science. Collectively, we are uncovering paradigms that are relevant to understanding disease at a frantic pace. One can only turn to wonder, in this moment of reflection, when trying to imagine what it must feel like as a treating physician trying to filter all of these new concepts. Which advances are relevant? Am I filtering out those that are merely incremental? Is this concept transformative? Does this article have the potential to affect my understanding of the cause, prevention, and treatment of kidney disease? Recognizing an article that reports a landmark discovery is a challenge.
