Reducing lymphatic spread of cancer

Reducing lymphatic spread of cancer: Professor Ben Hogan’s findings, published in Nature Cell Biology today, shows a novel molecular mechanism that controls the formation of lymphatic vessels. A basic science discovery has identified a specific molecule, the RNA helicase DDX21, to have a role in lymphatic vessel formation, known as lymphangiogenesis. The fundamental research published in […]

Microbiome discovery could help save kids’ hearing

Microbiome discovery could help save kids’ hearing: Bacteria found in children’s upper respiratory systems could help fight chronic middle ear infections, the leading cause of preventable hearing loss and deafness in Indigenous communities. The University of Queensland’s Dr Seweryn Bialasiewicz said this discovery helped explain a long-held mystery, while providing hope for potential treatments. “We’ve been […]

Tools to predict IVF success

Tools developed by the University of Aberdeen which help couples to predict the chances of having a baby following IVF treatment have now been launched in the US. Two calculators – one which calculates the chances of having a baby over one or more complete cycles* of IVF treatment from the point before just starting […]
