The projected rise in global cancer deaths
1990 —5.9 million
2023—10.4 million
2050—18.8 million
is yet another reason we need to get primary prevention into high gear, which is now possible but not getting done

Should grant funding be randomly allocated? Yes, according to schemes funded by British Academy/Leverhulme and Wellcome IFRC. Luck versus Rigour?

Right back atcha, Sue for all your incredible fundraising.

Great to see you here Patrick!

Differentiation signals induce APOBEC3A expression via GRHL3 in squamous epithelia and squamous cell carcinoma | The EMBO Journal imageimageAPOBEC3A and APOBEC3B encode DNA editing enzymes with anti-viral roles that generate somatic mutations in cancer. This study provides insight into their expression in healthy and cancerous e...

Ok first post on Bluesky and it’s a science one… New paper out from the lab! APOBEC genes protect us from viral infection but go rogue in cancer. Here we shed new light on how these important genes are regulated, offering clues as to what goes wrong in cancer.
