A WHO graphic showing close-up hands making the “finger heart” gesture. A woman smiles softly in the blurred background. Text on the right reads: “EVERY ACTION COUNTS. 90% GIRLS VACCINATED. 70% WOMEN SCREENED. 90% TREATED BY 2030.”
#CervicalCancer could be the first cancer EVER in the world to be eliminated, if:
9️⃣0️⃣% of girls are vaccinated
7️⃣0️⃣% of women are screened
9️⃣0️⃣% of women with cervical cancer receive treatment

The opening of registrations and abstract submission is just around the corner for the EACR 2026 Annual Congress, so what better time to reflect on our Travel Grant winners' experiences of EACR 2025 that took place earlier this year in Lisbon, Portugal.

How does the tumor microenvironment change as cancer progresses - & which cells appear, persist, or disappear along the way?
Excited to share our new study on the #TME answering this question!
Great collaboration with the Hausser lab 🧪🧬🔬

Cover of this week's Nature showing a brain rendering Cover caption from the journal: Brain development: Our ability to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on the rich diversity of cell types that make up the human brain. Uncovering the molecular and cellular events that take place during brain development could reveal not only the mechanisms that give rise to this diversity but also shed light on how this process might go awry in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and schizophrenia. In this week’s issue, the BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN) builds on its previous work creating atlases of cell types in the adult mouse, non-human primate (NHP) and human brains to present cell-type atlases of the developing human, mouse and NHP brains. Across a suite of papers, nine of which are published in Nature, the researchers uncover the complex programs through which cell types emerge during brain development in humans and animals, revealing both the shared and unique features of the human brain. The latest work, along with future research directions, is summed up in a Perspective article by Tomasz Nowakowski and colleagues
