He was 36 at the time and a device he designed, the Jarvik 7 artificial heart, was about to be implanted into a human patient for the first time. That patient, a retired dentist named Barney Clark, had been at the University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City for about a week, and his medical team, lead by William DeVries, MD, planned to put off the surgery just a little while longer in hopes of getting Clark as strong as possible for the operation. But Clark wasn’t getting stronger.

First description of mEAK-7 gene could suggest path toward therapies for cancer, other diseases
For years, researchers have known that a gene called EAK-7 plays an important role in determining how long worms will live. But it remained unclear whether the gene had a counterpart in humans and – if it did – how that human version would work.Now, researchers led by UCLA ’sDr. Paul Krebsbach are the first to characterize the mechanism of the human equivalent, which they call mammalian EAK-7, or mEAK-7.Krebsbach, dean of theUCLA School of Dentistry and a professor of periodontics, led a team that found mEAK-7 regulates the molecular process, or “metabolic pathway,” that dictates cell growth and human development.The disruption of those processes is part of what causes cancer and other diseases, as well as some neurological disorders.
