During the 20th century great progress was made in genetics and biochemistry, and these were combined into a molecular biological understanding of functions of macromolecules. Further great discoveries will be made about bioregulations, applicable to scientific problems such as cell development and evolution, and to illnesses including heart disease through defective control of cholesterol production, and to neurological cell-based diseases. The "War Against Cancer" is still far from won. The present generation of scientists can develop clinical applications from recent basic science discoveries.
