NewsHypoxia and EUDAL: the hidden drivers of oral cancer survival
A newly discovered RNA molecule, EUDAL, helps oral cancers survive chemotherapy by keeping a key growth protein permanently active. Researchers say targeting EUDAL could predict resistance and improve treatment outcomes.
-
NewsSenolytic drug combo boosts cancer immunotherapy and reduces side effects
Researchers have discovered that targeting immune cell ageing can overcome resistance to head and neck cancer treatment.
-
NewsTiny models, powerful insights: how organoids are driving precision oncology
A new review has highlighted how three-dimensional organoid models are transforming cancer research by replicating the complexity of human tumours – bringing precision oncology closer to the clinic.

NewsProtecting bones from cancer damage: targeting the UPR pathway
New research highlights how cancer hijacks the unfolded protein response (UPR) in bone cells – potentially allowing for the development of therapies that target this pathway to prevent fractures.
-
NewsGlioblastoma treatment boosted by new drug combination strategy
Researchers in China have discovered how glioblastoma adapts to low-oxygen conditions – revealing a new treatment strategy that combines an orphan drug with standard chemotherapy to overcome resistance.
-
ArticleThe science behind the systematic discovery of molecular glues
For decades, molecular glues have been stumbled upon rather than designed. A new scientific approach is now changing that – expanding what is considered druggable.
-
ArticleOvercoming barriers to oncology combination therapies in the UK and EU
Colleagues at IQVIA discuss ways to expedite positive HTA outcomes for innovative combination therapies, alleviating the bottlenecks inherent in the current system.

NewsAnti-linker antibodies: a universal key for CAR-T detection
Every new CAR-T needs a new detection tool – until now. Anti-linker antibodies could change how researchers develop and track these therapies.
-
NewsMelanoma research: targeted drug duo reactivates immune response
Researchers at Sutter’s California Pacific Medical Center have discovered a potential new treatment strategy for melanoma patients who stop responding to immunotherapy.
