Optimised antibody panels for CTC and rare cell enumeration
Despite significant strides in cancer research, metastasis remains the primary cause of cancer-related mortality globally. Joby Chesnick and Tracey Long, from the Digital Biology Group and Life Science Group, respectively, at BioRad Laboratories, reveal how investigation into circulating tumour cells (CTCs) and other rare cell types has led to the ...

ArticleMediating BRAF-mutant melanoma resistance
In this Q&A, esteemed Dr Rhoda Alani discusses the epigenetic landscape of therapy resistant melanomas and elucidates how corin treatment impacts the reprogramming of melanoma cell phenotypes. The findings suggest a new treatment paradigm for melanoma which could also be relevant to targeted therapy resistance mechanisms for other cancer types.
