Yin Yang1 and breast cancer

Scientists have unveiled clues about a mysterious molecule called Yin Yang1 – and revealed it may fuel tumour growth in breast cancer. The findings, by a group of international scientists led by Imperial College London, may open avenues for new treatments, and help understand why some tumours become resistant to chemotherapy. Crucially, the findings also […]

Fighting against Rift Valley fever

Rift Valley fever is a viral disease endemic to Africa that is found on animals and spread via biting mosquitoes. The threat of Rift Valley fever is on the rise and has recently been added to the World Health Organisation priority list. Health control measures alone could be ineffective in the long term fight against […]

DNA discovery could help target cancer cells

Scientists have made a major discovery about how cells repair broken strands of DNA that could have huge implications for the treatment of cancer. Their study, published in Nature, uncovered a brand new protein complex in cells that shields broken DNA ends and controls the way in which it is repaired. The new complex pushes […]

Nicotine in pregnancy increases risk of cot death

Nicotine exposure during pregnancy, whether from smoking cigarettes, or nicotine patches and e-cigarettes, increases risk of sudden infant death syndrome – sometimes known as “cot death” – according to new research published in The Journal of Physiology. Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden and unexpected death of an infant under 12 months of […]

Allergy antibody may protect skin against cancer

An allergy antibody known as Immunoglobulin E, or IgE, may protect the skin against cancer, according to new study led by scientists at Imperial College, London. IgE is a component of the immune system that triggers allergic reactions. The research highlights previously unknown skin defences – and could open avenues for developing new skin cancer […]
