Congratulations to Molly Pind who found #CellMagnet. Molly wins a $20 gift certificate to Cineplex Odeon, just in time for the release of Les Miserable!
#CellMagnet was hidden in Dr Mowat's Nature paper from 1985 where he was the first to describe the role of p53 as an oncogene in leukemia.
1 more magnet to find.... keep looking!
