Rapid biomarker diagnostics for Cancers and heart disease: Imperial researchers have built a new easy-to-use test that could diagnose non-infectious diseases like heart attacks and cancers more quickly. The new test works by detecting molecular signals in the body called biomarkers, which are already used in things like COVID-19 testing where the presence of SARS-CoV-2 […]

As many as 10,000 Australians are predicted to develop lung cancer in their lifetime from being exposed to silica dust, new Curtin University modelling has found amid warnings more than half a million Australian workers are currently exposed to the harmful dust. Engineered stone – used mainly for kitchen benchtops – is a particularly potent […]
Pioneering work by researchers from the School of Biological Sciences at Edinburgh University reveals how invisible triggers orchestrate the earliest-known stages of a key life process, and may help offer clues to improving ways of treating diseases such as cancer. As part of the processes of renewal and repair that keep our bodies ticking over, […]
Scientists have shown it is possible to reverse a key process that allows pancreatic cancer cells to grow and spread around the body. These findings, published in Nature, show that a protein called GREM1 is key to regulating the type of cells found in pancreatic cancer – and manipulating its levels can both fuel and […]

Bone loss medicines linked to lower ovarian cancer rates: Medicines used to prevent bone loss may help lower the risk of ovarian cancer according to research by The University of Queensland. UQ researchers compared medications taken by more than 50,000 women aged over 50, using de-identified medical records from 2004–2013, to analyse differences in those […]
