For roughly forty years, oncologists have treated pancreatic cancer with the grim arithmetic of months gained, not years. A new drug called daraxonrasib appears ready to rewrite that math. In late-stage trial data, patients who added it to chemotherapy lived roughly twice as long as those on chemo alone – […]

Learning a new language or relearning speech after a stroke requires coordinated movements that are controlled by networks in the brain. This includes the orofacial sensory system (input such as touch and position from the lips, tongue, jaw, and face) and the motor system (commands that move the muscles in […]

Researchers have created a detailed map of a deadly childhood cancer, showing it uses ‘shields’ and ‘bodyguards’ to protect itself, paving the way for new treatments. University of Queensland researchers used cutting-edge technology to map the biology of neuroblastoma – a cancer that typically develops in children under the age […]

Researchers from The University of Western Australia will use biomaterials to create a lifelike 3D model of human skin to better understand and treat skin stiffness associated with age, scarring and disease. If successful, in time the model could reduce the need for animal testing of skin products and enable […]

Cancer is often described as a genetic roll of the dice. A matter of bad luck. But new global estimates from the World Health Organization suggest something different: four in 10 cancer cases could be prevented worldwide. That statistic raises an obvious question: If so many cancers are preventable, what […]
