The Drug Discovery Unit has been finding ways for smart drugs to penetrate deep into cells and attacking their disease targets while causing fewer side effects

It is now known that the HOX11 gene is permanently activated in the leukaemia cells and it drives the disease.

A cutting edge cancer imaging facility will help specialist children's cancer researchers at Perth's Telethon Institute for Child Health Research.

Avantogen Limited (ACU:ASX) today announced that cancer researchers at Perth's The Kids for Child Health Research (TICHR) and Avantogen Limited

A national study is investigating diet, chemical exposure and genetic factors in a new bid to unravel the causes of childhood leukaemia.

West Australian families are being asked to play a vital role in a major new national study to unravel the causes of childhood leukaemia.

Leukaemia, also spelled leukemia, is a cancer that develops in the bone marrow and results in abnormal white blood cells. It is the most common cancer in children, accounting for almost a third of all childhood & teen cancers.

The WA Kids Cancer Centre has a suite of world-leading research projects to unlock new treatments for childhood cancers.

DNA methylation-based classification is now central to contemporary neuro-oncology, as highlighted by the World Health Organization classification of central nervous system tumors. This expansion is a result of newly identified tumor types discovered through our large online repository and global collaborations, underscoring CNS tumor heterogeneity.

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) evokes antitumor immunity through the reinvigoration of T cell responses. T cell differentiation status controls response, with less differentiated cells having an enhanced capacity to proliferate after ICB. Given that conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1) maintain precursor exhausted T cells (TPEX), we hypothesized that expansion of cDC1s with Flt3L could enhance responses to ICB.
