More than 30% of this century’s science Nobel prizewinners immigrated: see their journeys The most common destination for eventual Nobel laureates in physics, chemistry and medicine since 2000 is the United States, Nature has found.

Of the 202 Nobel laureates who have been awarded prizes in physics, chemistry and medicine this century, less than 70% hail from the country in which they were awarded their prize.

An unexpected corridor to brain metastasis Breast cancer cells migrate from the bone marrow to the leptomeninges

Last year in Science, researchers reported the characterization of a previously unidentified route by which breast cancer cells metastasize to the leptomeninges in mice. The findings could inform future therapies.

Extra cancer scans for women with dense breasts could save 700 lives a year – UK study Adding scans to existing screening could catch harder-to-detect early-stage cases of disease, research shows Hundreds of lives could be saved every year with extra cancer checks for women with very dense breasts, a study suggests. Millions of women undergo breast screening, but regular mammograms can be less effective at spotting cancer in the 10% with very dense breasts, as the tissue can hide tumours on X-rays. This is because very dense breasts look whiter on scans, making it harder to detect early-stage disease, which also appears white. Continue reading...

Migraine is more than a headache — a radical rethink offers hope to one billion people Drugs that can prevent or relieve migraine attacks are only effective for some people. Research is starting to untangle the reasons why.

Medical advances in the past few decades have redefined migraine as a treatable and manageable condition. Research is also leading to a better understanding about the condition and pointing to directions for future work. Read the Nature feature. 🧪

Our latest publication, "Leveraging Immunogenic Cell Death to Enhance the Immune Response against Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Tumors" in JACS, showcases the remarkable potential of novel Au(III) complexes to induce long-lasting antitumor immunity. We are all super proud of this achievement 💪

US drug agency approves potent painkiller — the first non-opioid in decades The FDA’s nod for suzetrigine bolsters confidence in the pharmaceutical industry’s strategy to target sodium channels.

On Thursday, the US Food and Drug Administration approved suzetrigine for short-term pain management, making it the first non-opioid pain drug given a regulatory nod in more than 20 years.

Last thursday I presented my post-doc project to the Chimie Paris Tech - PSL community. I'm happy that I was able to do it even though I was really nervous.

Delighted to share our #ChemBioChem paper on cytotoxic Ruthenium(II) diphosphine complexes and their effect on lung #cancer cells. Congrats to all! 🎉🎉🎉

A photo of some red poinsettia plants in front of an unfocused background of Christmas lights

Day 2 of #ChemAdvent24 is here!🪴

The deadly reputation of Christmas poinsettia is undeserved: even eating them is likely to only cause tummy upset. One of the triterpenoid molecules they contain (eupulcherol A) is being investigated as a treatment for Alzheimer's. They make good pH indicators too!

We had our end of the year group celebrations yesterday! Many thanks to everyone for their help and hard work!
