Two Australian scientists transformed melanoma from a death sentence into a treatable disease, saving hundreds of lives each year. Their breakthrough immunotherapy approach now gives patients a 55% survival rate where there was once almost no hope.
After Emily Robertson-Miller died suddenly from melanoma that spread to her brain, her loved ones turned grief into action. The community rallied at Geraldton's 15th Melanoma March, raising thousands for research and awareness.
Researchers discovered how melanoma cells bypass aging to become deadly, uncovering a hidden genetic partnership that keeps tumors dividing indefinitely. The breakthrough reveals a potential new target for future cancer treatments. #
Researchers discovered a protein that both fuels melanoma tumors and blocks immune attacks. Turning it off shrinks cancer and unleashes the body's natural defenses.
Researchers in Finland discovered how to potentially break the inflammatory cycle that helps aggressive skin cancer spread. The breakthrough could lead to new treatments that stop melanoma cells from communicating with immune cells that accidentally help tumors grow.
Leading autism researchers and advocates formed a new independent committee to guide autism research priorities and counter recent federal changes. The group aims to unite the autism community and protect evidence-based research as funding reaches $568 million annually.
A scientist who revolutionized protein research is now tackling science's reproducibility crisis with AI. His new approach could help researchers separate reliable studies from questionable ones, speeding up cures for diseases like Alzheimer's.
Scientists now have access to an AI tool that filters through 150 years of research data to deliver trustworthy answers in seconds. CAS Newton helps researchers move from question to verified answer without drowning in information overload.
When US funding cuts threatened to collapse decades of life-saving health research in South Africa, the country fought back with a $32 million rescue package. Now 59 critical HIV and tuberculosis research projects are moving forward.
South Korea is creating a new research movement to produce globally recognized scientists like Jane Goodall by focusing on uniquely Korean topics. The K-Science initiative aims to blend the nation's culture, history, and environment with cutting-edge research.
Jennifer Ferris transformed a "Wild Wild West" research environment into a thriving 17-person operation, earning the first university-wide staff award ever given to UT Health Sciences' Knoxville campus. Her journey from solo clinical trial coordinator to award-winning director shows how one person's vision can reshape an entire research community.
Researchers at NYU have discovered a protein that both feeds skin cancer tumors and shields them from the immune system. Disabling it could open the door to powerful new combination treatments.
Scientists at UC San Diego discovered that catestatin, a naturally occurring peptide in our bodies, can slow melanoma growth and overcome drug resistance. This breakthrough could transform how doctors treat one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer.
Nigeria's medical research institute has unveiled a biobank containing over 400,000 biological samples that could revolutionize how the country understands and treats diseases. The massive collection offers locally generated data that researchers say will lead to better health outcomes for millions of Africans.
After federal research funding collapsed and thousands of scientists lost their jobs, a new model of community-driven science is taking root across America. From state-funded research bonds to mobile MRI scanners in rural towns, researchers are discovering that science doesn't need ivory towers to thrive.
Revolutionary 3D body scanners photographed nearly 10,000 Australians and detected 500 potentially fatal melanomas before they became deadly. The breakthrough technology could change how the world fights the deadliest form of skin cancer.
