Phys.org— Imagine being able to look inside a single cancer cell and see how it communicates with its neighbors. Scientists are celebrating a new technique that lets them study the fatty contents of cancer cells, one by one.

The Independent—Breast cancer survivors at significant risk of developing entirely new cancers, study finds. More deprived women were found to be at higher risk of lung, kidney, head and neck, bladder, oesophageal and stomach cancers

Phys.org—New small molecule helps scientists study regeneration. Regenerating damaged tissues or organs has been a dream of scientists for decades. Now, researchers at the FMI and Novartis Biomedical Research have discovered a new molecule that activates a protein involved in regeneration. The tool holds promise for advancing our understanding of how organisms repair damaged tissue.

Phys.org—Advanced cell atlas opens new doors in biomedical research. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a web-based platform that offers an unprecedented view of the human body at the cellular level. The aim is to create an invaluable resource for researchers worldwide to increase knowledge about human health and disease. The study is published in Genome Biology.
