January 17, 2018Cancer tumours manipulate a natural cell process to promote their survival and controlling this may help stop progress of the disease, researchers have found. A natural physiological process — called non-sense mediated decay (NMD) — provides cells with the ability to detect DNA errors called nonsense mutations, as well as playing a lead role in …

June 27, 2017Researchers have developed new superparamagnetic crystals that could zip down drugs around your body, revolutionising drug delivery to tumours and other sites in the body that need to be targeted precisely. In the past, this was thought to be impossible — the crystals, which have special magnetic properties, were so small that scientists could not …
