The dream of conquering disease: bioscience
 |
Description
Book Introduction
The science bestseller, "Bioscience: The Dream of Conquering Disease," has been published in a revised edition!
The 21st century is the bio era!
Humanity Challenges Disease and Desires Health
As America's passionate and intense biopharmaceutical research attracts global attention, it is ushering in a revolution in the pharmaceutical market, centered around obesity treatments and mRNA vaccines.
The COVID-19 pandemic that struck the world in December 2019 presented scientists with a new opportunity, and to win the war against the COVID-19 virus, scientists commercialized the world's first mRNA vaccine.
The COVID-19 mRNA vaccine is the shortest-lived vaccine in history, marking a milestone for vaccine developers.
In addition, we have successfully commercialized innovative treatment technologies such as Alzheimer's disease antibody treatment and gene scissors technology.
This revised edition updates these latest research findings to include the innovative treatments that humanity has gained in the fight against disease over the past five years.
Science has enabled humans to live longer and healthier lives.
As we approach the era of Homo Hundred, where life expectancy reaches 100 years, we may already be close to achieving 'longevity', one of humanity's most intense and long-standing desires, 'immortality'.
But humanity doesn't just want to live longer.
Because we desire health as much as we desire the length of life.
We live in an era where living healthily is as important as living long.
Degenerative brain diseases like dementia come with aging, diabetes is a persistent threat, and obesity is a common occurrence in our daily lives.
What solutions are there for humanity, which desires both health and longevity?
Bioscience, or life science, may be the open door to the health and longevity that humanity dreams of.
Although this door has only recently opened, its narrow entrance is gradually widening thanks to scientific advancements and the efforts of scientists.
So, why not take a look at that bright entrance?

Publisher's Review
From cancer to dementia,
A science journalist reports on the battle against disease.
The author, reporter Lee Seong-gyu, is a science journalist who hosted the YTN Science program [Cafe B].
We have been delivering the latest developments in disease treatment technology and interesting behind-the-scenes stories of life sciences in an entertaining way.
In this book, too, you can vividly feel the reporter's wit and reporting skills.
This book quenches people's thirst for life science trends and makes the somewhat rigid topics of life sciences accessible through issues and episodes.
This book covers incurable diseases such as genetic diseases, degenerative brain diseases, and cancer, as well as familiar diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and aging, and infectious diseases such as malaria and AIDS.
The book is interesting, but the scene of overcoming illness that it unfolds is quite intense and passionate.
As a journalist, the author vividly portrays the fierce battle to overcome disease, dealing with the conflicts between treatments, corporate logic, and bioethics and scientific advancement.
Another attractive aspect of this book is that it clearly identifies the latest medical technology trends in a separate section called 'Deep Inside.'
The dream of life science is similar to humanity's dream of immortality.
However, while immortality is an individual desire that each person dreams of, life science is a larger and more attractive field in that it dreams of immortality for 'everyone', and at the same time, it is causing much controversy because of that.
This book will serve as a useful and wise guide to navigating various provocative issues, misunderstandings, and vague perceptions about life sciences.
