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.
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.

Paediatric cancer is the leading cause of disease-related death in Australian children. Limited research focuses on cancer in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. Although there appears to be a lower incidence of cancer overall in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children compared with non-Indigenous children, a high proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia.
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is a highly heterogeneous malignancy characterised by various genomic alterations that influence disease progression and therapeutic outcomes. Gene fusions involving the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene represent a complex and diverse category.
