A Virtual Cell That Predicts Your Cancer Treatment

A Virtual Cell That Predicts Your Cancer Treatment

One of the persistent frustrations in oncology is this: two patients with the same cancer diagnosis, the same staging, even the same tumor type, can respond completely differently to the same drug. For triple-negative breast cancer, that frustration is acute. TNBC lacks the hormone and HER2 receptors that most targeted therapies exploit, leaving clinicians with a narrower toolkit and fewer molecular handles to guide treatment decisions. A study published in Nature on September 9...
From Undruggable to Unstoppable: How Daraxonrasib Is Rewriting the RAS Story

From Undruggable to Unstoppable: How Daraxonrasib Is Rewriting the RAS Story

For decades, RAS proteins occupied a peculiar position in oncology: among the most commonly mutated drivers of cancer, yet effectively out of reach for targeted therapy. That designation — “undruggable” — is now being dismantled at pace. Just one week after the US FDA granted approval to daraxonrasib (Rasonque) for advanced pancreatic cancer, new data published in the New England Journal of Medicine on September 2 show the same drug shrinking tumours in more than 30% of participants...
Cancer Cases Could Surge 67% Worldwide by 2050

Cancer Cases Could Surge 67% Worldwide by 2050

The numbers are stark. In 2024, nearly 21 million people were diagnosed with cancer globally, and 9.8 million died from the disease. Now cases will reach 34 million by 2050 — a 67% increase driven almost entirely by population growth and aging, before any changes in risk factor exposure are factored in. For anyone working at the intersection of oncology, public health, or life sciences, this report lands as both a warning and a challenge. The Scale and Its Drivers The findings are...
Immune Therapy Engineered Inside the Body Eases Multiple Sclerosis

Immune Therapy Engineered Inside the Body Eases Multiple Sclerosis

For years, CAR-T-cell therapy has operated on a straightforward but labour-intensive logic: extract T cells from a patient, engineer them in a laboratory to target a specific molecule, and reinfuse them. It works. It has transformed outcomes in blood cancers. But it is slow, expensive, and operationally demanding in ways that limit who can access it and where. A clinical trial published this week in The New England Journal of Medicine tests a different premise: what if the genetic...
Who Is Responsible When AI Helps to Write Science?

Who Is Responsible When AI Helps to Write Science?

Generative AI is now embedded in the daily workflow of research. It summarizes literature, drafts sections, sharpens arguments, and increasingly shapes the conceptual framing of papers. Yet publishing norms have not kept pace. The question that remains unanswered is not whether AI is being used — it clearly is — but who is accountable for what it produces. Authorship was never just a credit mechanism. It is an accountability structure: a signal to the community that a named scholar stands...
